temp-dir-cli v1.3.2
temp-dir-cli
This CLI tool creates a temporary directory and opens it in the explorer.
Upon execution, it creates a yyyy-mm-dd directory inside the temp directory in the home directory and opens that directory in the explorer. If the directory already exists, it opens the existing directory. Optionally, you can also create a new directory with a different name.
By specifying a title as an argument, you can create a yyyy-mm-dd_[title] directory.
During execution, it cleans up any empty directories inside the temp directory.
Install
npm install -g temp-dir-cliUsage
