const files = {
  'Javascript Log': name => {
    return `console.log('${name}: is created')`
  },
}

const folders = {
  // key is template name, value Can be: Function | string | string[]

    return {
      // key Is the name of the file to be created, value can be: Function | string | string[]

        `<!DOCTYPE html>`,
        `<html lang="en">`,
        `<head>`,
        `  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">`,
