Why should I use this over just creating a new file?

Why use this over a build system to build my files automatically?



simply because it is a shortcut. This gives you a way that you don't have to write a lot of code.


I can do it by literally typing in the terminal: "touch file.min.js", or fill it with content: "cat somefile.js | uglify > file.js"
