I hate having to create project folders over and over again! I have a specific hierarchy I use and it gets tiring having to build them over and over and over and over.
Until now!
In this workflow tutorial, I'll share with you some know how in Windows to create a batch script that automatically creates all these folders just by running a file that we'll code ourselves. And best part is, it's EXTREMELY simple, you don't need ANY coding know-how!
