About The Project

There are many ways to create a file via cli depending on the OS you are on but me currently being on windows, though some command are aliased they don't feel natural (New-Item instead of touch) and I miss using some of the unix commands that I am so used to. Thats how bonk came to be.

Here's why:

• Works on all OS'
• Can Also create directories recursively
• Why not?
