[![Build](https://github.com/xyproto/in/actions/workflows/build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/xyproto/in/actions/workflows/build.yml) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSD-green.svg?style=flat)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xyproto/in/main/LICENSE)

Utility to execute commands in directories, and create directories if needed.

It will also create the directories, if missing. If the top level directory is empty after executing the command, it will be removed. This means that `in testdirectory pwd` leaves no traces.

## Example 1

    in build cmake ..

Instead of:

    mkdir -p build

    cd build

    cmake ..

    cd ..

Or:

    mkdir -p build

    cmake -B build -S .

## Example 2

    in project ./configure --prefix=/usr

Instead of:

    cd project

    ./configure --prefix=/usr

    cd ..

Or:

    (cd project; ./configure --prefix=/usr)

Or:

    pushd project

    ./configure --prefix=/usr

    popd

## Example 3

Globbing (note the double quotes to avoid shell expansion). No directories are created when using globbing, but the given command will be run in each directory where a matching file is found, for each matching file.

    in "./**/*pom.xml" mvn clean
