Productivity System Step 12: Build the System

This is the step everything has been building toward. Take the notes you have kept since module 3 and turn them into three real scripts on your own machine. A scaffold script that takes a project name and builds your standard structure. A backup script that takes a directory and makes a dated copy of it. An audit script that reports the file count, directory count and TODO count of wherever it is run. Give each one a shebang, comments explaining why it exists, quoted variables, and a check that any required argument was actually supplied. Make them executable and put them somewhere on your PATH so you can run them by name from anywhere. You now have a command line productivity system, and you wrote every line of it.
