Installation

You can install Nirman-cli directly from PyPI:

pip install Nirman-cli

Usage

1. Create a Markdown file (e.g., structure.md) defining your desired project layout:

   my-python-app/
   ├── src/
   │   ├── __init__.py
   │   └── main.py
   ├── tests/
   │   └── test_main.py
   ├── .gitignore
   └── README.md
   

2. Run the nirman command from your terminal:

   nirman structure.md
   

   This will create the my-python-app/ directory and all its contents in your current location.
