Build

@Grab('io.github.kdabir.directree:directree:0.3.2')
import static directree.DirTree.create

create("my-dir") {
    dir ("todo") {
        file "first.txt", "check out this new library"
    }

    file ("README.md") { """
        Directree

        """.stripIndent()
    }
}

There are multiple ways in which content can be written to a file.
after all, its all a valid groovy code.

check out this new library

More realistic example

You can create a project structure:

create("my-project") {
    dir "src" , {
        file "hello.groovy", "println 'hello world'"
    }
    dir "test", {
        file ".gitkeep"
    }
    file "build.gradle" , ""
    file ".gitignore", "*.class"
}

create(".") will create the files and directories in current directory.
