Introduction
As developers, we often find ourselves setting up repetitive folder structures and files for new projects. What if you could automate this process and save hours of manual effort? In this guide, we’ll explore an efficient way to create a self-deleting project setup script that generates all necessary files and folders, integrates responsive navigation for your web projects, and even adds console logs for debugging—all with a single command.
This solution is perfect for developers who want to:
- Save time by automating project setup.
- Create organized structures for web development projects.
- Ensure responsive designs with prebuilt navigation bars.
Use Case: Why This Script is a Game-Changer
1. Quick Project Setup
With just one script, you can generate:
- Folder structures (
pages,styles,js,src). - Pre-designed responsive navigation bars for desktop and mobile.
- Boilerplate files (
index.html,style.css, and JavaScript files).
2. Self-Deleting Script
The script deletes itself after being executed, keeping your project directory clean and ensuring it’s a one-time-use tool.
3. Debugging Made Easy
Each JavaScript file includes a console.log message to ensure the script loads correctly for every page.
4. Responsive Design Integration
The generated style.css includes responsive styles with a toggleable navigation menu, ensuring your project looks great on all devices.
5. Seamless Workflow with VS Code
The script automatically opens your project in VS Code after setup, so you can dive right into development.
How to Use the Script
Step 1: Save the Script
Save the following Bash script as setup_project.sh in your terminal’s working directory:
(Insert the full script from the previous section here.)
Step 2: Make It Executable
Run the following command to make the script executable:
chmod +x setup_project.sh
Step 3: Run the Script
Execute the script by typing:
./setup_project.sh
Step 4: Enter the Project Name
You’ll be prompted to enter a project name. If left blank, the script will assign a default name like project_1.
Step 5: Start Coding
The script sets up the project, opens it in VS Code, and deletes itself. All you need to do is start coding!
Conclusion
This setup script is a powerful tool for developers seeking to streamline their workflow. By automating repetitive tasks, ensuring responsive designs, and integrating debugging aids, it enables you to focus on what truly matters: building great projects. Try it today and elevate your development game!
