# refit

`refit` is a file and directory manipulation tool. Currently it can
create a flat folder and file structure
as well as an linear directory structure.

## ToDos

1. folder and file creation  
1.1 simple file and folder creation  
1.2 recursive file and folder creation  
2. file movement  
2.1 file deletion  

- implement config file containing version, default names and other
configurations  
- make file and directory creation start counting at 1 instead of 0  
- Add security check which benchmarks the creation of folders and files
before the first execution in order to prevent either python, the file
system or the system in general to crash.
