Using a batch file to create directories for a new project is an easy way of making sure that we’re maintaining consistent structure.

Save the following text as a .BAT file and run it anytime a new project needs to be created. The script prompts the user for a project name and will create all directories as shown above.

@echo off
set /p project="Enter Project Name: "
