🔮 folder-spell

folder-spell is a folder poetry generator that came out of a conversation our TA Brian Solon and i had on the bus yesterday. It makes writing sentences with folders go very quickly.

  • It creates a series of nested folders with a text file at the end.
  • The first words you write after folder-spell will become a series of nested folders. The text within quotations will become the contents of a text file.

Installation

  • enter the entire following line in your terminal
    • curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/solon/27106a5389c61dcb83fb25fa9c20787d/raw/folder-spell.sh > ~/folder-spell.sh && chmod u+x ~/folder-spell.sh && echo $'folder-spell() {\n ~/folder-spell.sh \"$@\" \n}' >> ~/.bash_profile
  • source ~/.bash_profile

Usage
