Assignment 9

Remember that “create a new project” script you wrote at the beginning of the semester?

  • Turn it into an interactive script where the user provides the name of the project
  • It should then generate a full project directory structure based on that name
  • It can be either be interactive or require user parameters
  • I should be able to give your program a name (like “cow_microbiome”) and it should instantly build me a blank project with that name and a useful directory structure, including a README file.

Your tasks:

1. Write that shell script


What to turn in:

  • A plaintext file (on Canvas) containing the complete contents of your create_empty_project.sh script

Upload the plain-text file(s) to Canvas. You’ll be graded on completeness, documentation, and readability.
