Create multiple files in a directory without change current directory

Question

I'm using command below in my mac machine:

mkdir views && touch views/layout.erb views/home.erb views/about.erb views/contact.erb

It's working as expected. But i'm looking for something, so that i don't have to use directory name(views) to create/touch each file.

Answer 1

您可以使用bash扩展使其更简洁：

mkdir views && touch views/{layout,home,contact}.erb

Answer 2

You can do something like:

mkdir views && touch views/{layout,home,about,contact}.erb

Or you can change the directory in a sub-shell, so your current shell's working directory is unchanged:

mkdir views && (cd views && touch layout.erb home.erb about.erb contact.erb)

Another option is to use a loop:

mkdir views && for f in layout home about contact ; do touch views/${f}.erb ; done

Answer 3

mkdir views && pushd views && touch layout.erb home.erb about.erb contact.erb && popd

要么：

mkdir views && (cd views && touch layout.erb home.erb about.erb contact.erb)
