⚡️ Filo — Instantly Create Files & Folders from the Terminal

A blazing-fast CLI tool to scaffold nested files and directories in one command.
Stop wasting time with mkdir -p and touch. Just type filo path/to/file.js and you're done.


📦 Installation

npm install -g filo

After installation, the filo command is available globally from any terminal.


🚀 Usage

filo path/to/file.ext

✅ Automatically:

  • Recursively creates folders if they don’t exist.
  • Creates the file if it doesn’t exist.
  • Prompts you if the file already exists.

📂 Examples

Example 1:

filo src/utils/math/calc.ts

Creates:

📁 src/
└── 📁 utils/
    └── 📁 math/
        └── 📄 calc.ts

Example 2:

filo pages/blog/index.md

Creates:

📁 pages/
└── 📁 blog/
    └── 📄 index.md
