mks-0.1.1 is not a library.

`mks` – Create Directory Structures from Tree-like Text

mks is a lightweight, cross-platform CLI tool that reads a directory structure in tree format (from clipboard or file) and automatically creates the corresponding folders and files.

Perfect for quickly scaffolding projects from shared diagrams, documentation, or terminal output.

✅ Features

Input from clipboard or text file
Supports Unix-style tree output (with ├──, └──, │)
Also supports simple indented format using spaces or tabs
Windows-safe: validates file/folder names (blocks CON, NUL, invalid chars)
Creates empty files and nested directories as specified
Fast, dependency-light, and compiles to a single executable

🚀 Quick Start

0. Install

cargo install mks

✅ Format A: Simple Indent (Recommended)

Use spaces or tabs for nesting (no special symbols needed):

my-app/
    package.json
    src/
        index.js
        utils/
            helper.js
    public/
        style.css

✅ Format B: `tree` Output (Unix-style)

Copy directly from tree command in Git Bash, WSL, or Linux/macOS:

my-app/
├── package.json
├── src/
│   ├── index.js
│   └── utils/
│       └── helper.js
└── public/
    └── style.css

⚠️ Do not copy from websites, PDFs, or chat apps — they often corrupt tree characters.

3. Run `mks`

From a file:

mks structure.txt

From clipboard:

# Copy your tree text, then run:
mks

✅ Output:

Read from file (7 lines)
✅ Creating structure...
✅ Done!

📁 Output Example

Given this input:

blog/
    posts/
        first.md
    config.yaml

mks will create:

blog/
├── config.yaml
└── posts/
    └── first.md

All files are empty (0 bytes) — ideal for scaffolding.

⚠️ Limitations & Notes

Windows reserved names (CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, LPT1, etc.) are blocked.
Filenames cannot contain: < > : " / \ | ? *
Filenames cannot end with space or dot (.)
Maximum filename length: 255 characters
On Linux, ensure xclip or xsel is installed for clipboard support:
```
sudo apt install xclip    # Debian/Ubuntu
```

🔒 Safety First

mks never overwrites existing files.
If a file or folder already exists, it is skipped silently (no error).

To start fresh, run mks in an empty directory.

🛠️ Build Your Own

cargo build --release  # As per your preference for executable name
cp target/release/mks /usr/local/bin

The tool uses the MIT License — free to use, modify, and distribute.

💡 Pro Tips

Use Git Bash on Windows to generate valid tree output:
```
tree my-project
```
Prefer space-indented format if sharing across teams — it’s more portable.
Combine with templates: generate structure → fill files later.
