nf

nf (VERSION) -- create new file from template

Examples:

nf text -> Creates new text file (newfile.txt) in current directory.

nf text /path/to/directory -> Creates new text file in given directory.

nf text /path/to/file -> Creates new text file in same directory as given file.

nf --list (-l) -> Lists file templates (e.g. "text" above)

nf --store word /path/to/template.docx (-s) -> Stores a new template named "word", copying the given file into ~/.nf/word and updating the database. A new Word file can now be created with "nf word".

nf --delete word (-d, --remove) -> Removes the template that was stored by the previous example, both from the database and the filesystem.

Motivation:

MacOSX lacks the Windows Explorer right-click functionality to create a new file in the currently browsed folder. That is annoying. With 'nf' and DTerm installed, from any finder directory I can open DTerm and type "nf word" to create a new Microsoft Word file.

Templates:

nf has two "global" templates: 'text' and 'ruby'. Any local templates you create with '--store' are saved in ~/.nf.
