# BTT CLI
> Better "touch" command.
## Installation
To install **btt-cli** be sure to have installed **npm** or **yarn**.
```bash
$ node --version
```
If no errors let's install **btt-cli** with the following comand:
```bash
$ npm install btt-cli --global
# or "shorter flags"
$ npm i -g btt-cli
# or with YARN
$ yarn global add btt-cli
```
## How
```bash
$ btt [path]/ [...content]
```
## Why ?
> Why use **btt-cli** instead the traditional `touch filename` or the classic `echo > filename`?
Because **btt** provides to create the path if it doesn't exitst yet and it **doesn't overwrite** files.
**Example**:
```bash
$ touch myCoolProject/www/index.html
# Now if the path 'myCoolProject/www' doesn't exists "touch" will return error.
$ echo >> myCoolProject/www/index.html "
Title
"
# This will return the same error
```
But here comes _this commandline_, **btt** will create the path and with btt you can also write into files as like `echo`, is like a mix of `echo` and `mdkir -p` commands.
**Example with btt:**
```bash
$ btt myCoolProject/www/index.html "
Title
"
# You can also write without “”
$ btt Note/myFirstNote.txt Hey, this is my note!
# This will write a file with
# the phrase "Hey, this is my note!".
```
## Platforms
This `commandline` should work over all platforms but unfortunately right now i can't test it over all them.
