Aron, If you have an existing github account, you can just click “edit” on his script and it will automatically fork the repo, let you make changes, and then present you with the option of sending them back to Dan in the form of a Pull Request.
This has already happened once! The script now will refuse to operate if no argument was provided. :) Cheers, Dave Loyall State of Nebraska Office of the CIO Web Development Team [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (402) 471-0677 From: Discuss [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aron Ahmadia Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2015 4:03 PM To: Daniel Chen Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Discuss] Script to organize computational biology projects Very cool Dan! My only suggestion would be to create a top-level README file describing the directory structure (and possibly referring back to your script's URL), or print that out to the screen for the user to create their own file or append to their own. The shell experts will probably want to add a little error-handling. At minimum, the script should probably turn clobbering off before writing to files.

I created a quick bash script [2] since I just started another project, and thought it'd share with everyone. The code isn't pretty, but it does the job. Improvements welcome! And hopefully it'll be a less barrier to entry for people to setup project folders after they attend a workshop.
