## Brace Expansion

> Brace expansion is a mechanism by which arbitrary strings may be generated.

Example file name input

```bash

/tmp/{a,b,c}/index.{cpp,ts,scss}

```

will generate the following files

```bash

➜  tree /tmp

/tmp

├── a

│   ├── index.cpp

│   ├── index.scss

│   └── index.ts

├── b

│   ├── index.cpp

│   ├── index.scss

│   └── index.ts

└── c

    ├── index.cpp

    ├── index.scss

    └── index.ts

```

## Note

Non-existent folders are created automatically.

# Disclaimer

**Important:** This extension due to the nature of it's purpose will create

files on your hard drive and if necessary create the respective folder structure.
