How it works

Three steps. That's it.

No config files. No prompts. No account. Paste and go.

Step 01

Run f9

Open any terminal and type one command. f9 starts listening immediately — no flags or arguments needed.

$ f9

Step 02

Paste your tree

Copy any folder structure from GitHub, a README, or an AI assistant and paste it directly into the terminal.

Ctrl+V → paste

Step 03

Press CTRL+Z

Signal end-of-file. f9 parses indentation, detects folders and files, then creates everything instantly.

CTRL+Z → done
