touch

A Rust implementation of the touch command (for Windows, mostly...). It's not trying to replace touch from a Unix or Linux system, but just brings the functionality (and familiarity) to the Windows PowerShell.

Installation

• Install Rust: see steps for Windows
• Make sure it is setup correctly with the following command in your PowerShell: rustc --version
• Clone the repository to the location of your choice:

PS> git clone git@github.com:srbdev/touch.git && cd touch
PS> cargo install --path .

• Open a new PowerShell terminal, and check that it installed correctly:

PS> touch -h

Development

To run the application locally as part of the development process, use the following command:

% cargo run -- [ARGS]

where [ARGS] are the options and arguments for the command line utility, e.g. cargo run -- -h or cargo run -- --version.
