create full directory path in single command

mktouch.sh

echo >> $HOME/bin/mktouch << EOF
#!/bin/bash

# This script creates a directory and a file in that location.

# Get the path from the command line argument.
path=$1

# Split the path into the directory and file name.
directory=${path%/*}
file=${path##*/}

# Create the directory.
mkdir -p "$directory"

# Create the file.
touch "$directory/$file"

# Print a message to the user.
echo "The directory '$directory' and the file '$file' have been created."

EOF

This simple command line tool will create the directory and the file in it in one touch. Often times when I am adding test cases, I have this frustrating experience in pycharm where I have to manually create the directory & file manually before I can start writing my tests. This utility has simplified my life drastically.

use it like this:

mktouch path/to/your/file
