title: Automate repetitive file and folder creation npm
body: <p>I am experimenting with methods to create reusable components for use in front end html/scss projects. Supposing all components would have the same folder and file structure, I was hoping if it is possible to automate this task.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to the workflow and jargon in modern web design and I have just recently started off with npm (currently using node-sass and browser sync).
  I was hoping if someone could recommend the simplest way to automate the repetitive creation of files and folders. Perhaps regarding if any npm packages might exist for this purpose (i have tried npm folder-template, but have reason to believe it does not work properly on windows machines).</p>
  
  <p>I would appreciate if someone could explain the terminology used for such a task, as I have come across terms such as scaffolding, templates, Yeoman and npm generate, and I am confused about how I should proceed.</p>
  
  <p>An example structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>featured-content/
  |     break-points/
  |     |_base.scss  
  |     |_xl.scss  
  |     |_l.scss 
  |     |_m.scss  
  |     |_s.scss 
  |     |_xs.scss
  |
  |_featured-content.scss
  </code></pre>
