I created a small shell script that creates new projects, without having to create the /htdocs/path/to/project hierarchy ahead of time.
The script doesn’t require any parameters, CD into any directory, you just provide the project name, and that’s it.
It also has a flag you can set whether this is a production, or localhost project and it takes care of the path, etc.
Here’s some screen captures.
