Brace Expansion

Brace expansion is a mechanism by which arbitrary strings may be generated.

Example file name input

/tmp/{a,b,c}/index.{cpp,ts,scss}

will generate the following files

➜  tree /tmp
/tmp
├── a
│   ├── index.cpp
│   ├── index.scss
│   └── index.ts
├── b
│   ├── index.cpp
│   ├── index.scss
│   └── index.ts
└── c
    ├── index.cpp
    ├── index.scss
