Remember that time when you wanted to create a Magento shell or php script to perform some action, but didn’t know where to put it?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Those were good old times, and like all good times, they have now come to pass. There’s a new kid on the block, more powerful and way cooler, and the best part is – it’s integrated into Magento 2.

Unlike Magento 1, Magento 2 has a different (and more complex) way of setting up themes, so I started developing a Bash script that will make my life easier. Hopefully, yours as well.
