A friend of mine is a project manager for large construction builds. A small time waster he has found , is spending too much time creating all the folders that will be needed throughout his project, and keeping them organized. This bought me way back to 2006 when I was in high school, doing this exact project for organizing my own stuff.

Below is very basic and old school, a .bat file for making folders. This is setup EXACT for my friends projects, but can be copied and modified and used by anyone. Just change the folder names in the script to what you need and they will all be created nearly instantly.

@echo off

:: Change DIR to where the file is located
cd /d "%~dp0"

if "%PROJECT_NAME%"=="" (
    echo Error: No project name entered.
    pause
    exit /b 1
)

:: Simple cleanup - replace spaces with underscores
