I often need to create folders that start with the current date.
For example 190627_ABCD.
I've tried to create an alias command that gets the date to be printed:
a newf 'mkdir `date '+%y%m%d'_`+='
But this results in printing up the += at the end, which I was trying to use as an instruction to concatenate.
The idea being that I can add the ABCD in the command. So to get 190627_ABCD I type in the shell:
newf ABCD
But it isn't working for me. Grateful for any assistance!
