Fast Files is a project consisting of two bash scripts, ff and ffv, that combine the functionality of mkdir and touch, enabling you to create directory structures and files in a single command. The ffv script additionally prints the created objects in a tree-like structure using eza, lsd or ls.

Scripts

ff: creates the specified files and directories without printing any output.
ffv: performs the same operations as ff but also lists the created objects.

✨ Features

Create single or multiple files and directories in one command.
Automatically create parent directories as needed.
Supports brace expansion for creating complex directory and file structures in one go.
Optionally lists the created objects with enhanced listing tools (eza or lsd) if available, or fallback to ls (ffv only).

🛠️ Dependencies

bash
Optional: eza or lsd for enhanced directory listing

🏗️ Installation

Place both scripts in a directory included in your $PATH. Ensure the scripts are executable:

chmod +x /path/to/ff
chmod +x /path/to/ffv

🚀 Usage

ff [path file or folder]
ffv [path file or folder]

Arguments

--help or -h : Prints usage information

Examples

Create a single file:
```
ff file
```
```
───file
```
Create a single directory:
```
ff dir/
```
```
───dir
```

Create multiple files:

ff file1 file2 file3

 ┌─file1
─┼─file2
 └─file3

Create multiple directories:

ff dir1/ dir2/ dir3/

 ┌─dir1
─┼─dir2
 └─dir3

Create a file in a directory:
```
ff dir/file
```
```
───dir───file
```

Create a directory within a directory:

ff dir1/dir2/

───dir1───dir2

Create multiple files in multiple directories:

ff dir1/dir2/file1 dir3/file2

 ┌─dir1───dir2───file1
─┴─dir3───file2

Use brace expansion for complex structures (supported in bash, zsh, fish):

ff dir1/{dir2/{file1,file2}.txt,dir3/file3.txt}

               ┌─file1.txt
───dir1─┬─dir2─┴─file2.txt
        └─dir3───file3.txt
