Touchd - A friendlier version of touch

Background

I often find myself wanting to create a file inside of a non existing directory. To accomplish this I usually type something like mkdir foo && touch foo/bar, but this is far too many keystrokes for my liking!

Usage

touchd solves this problem by combining mkdir -p and touch into a single command: touchd foo/bar.

From touchd -help:

Usage: touchd [OPTION] FILE...

Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current time.

A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty
If any FILE argument contains parent directories that do not exist, they are created automatically.

Options:
-help
        Print this help message and quit

Installing
