mkdirs is a command-line interface (CLI) tool written in C++ designed to simplify the process of creating complex directory structures with ease. By allowing users to input a desired file structure, mkdirs automates the creation of directories and files, reflecting the specified hierarchy directly in the filesystem.
Have you ever embarked on a new project, only to find yourself tediously right-clicking to create each file and folder one by one? 🖱️ Or perhaps you've encountered someone else's project with a file management system that seemed like a complete mess? 📂🔥 This is where mkdirs steps in to save the day! 💡🚀

git clone https://github.com/Code-MonkeyZhang/mkdirs.gitcd mkdirs/bin/To run mkdirs, you have two options:
Option 1: Execute Directly in the Terminal
./mkdirsOption 2: Source the Binary File
Alternatively, you can source the binary file to make mkdirs available from any location in the terminal. To do so, you need to add the full path of the mkdirs binary to your shell's configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.). This method allows you to run mkdirs by simply calling its name in the terminal:
source /path/to/mkdirs/bin/mkdirsReplace /path/to/mkdirs/bin/mkdirs with the actual path to the mkdirs binary on your system. After sourcing, you can use the mkdirs command directly:
