Linux

There exists a command named tee. It takes as input the data that you want to redirect (for example through a pipe), and its arguments are all the files where you want to redirect it. That way, it is possible to redirect data to multiple files within one line. The solutions you saw took 51 and 22 lines. Using mkdir -p and tee, write a script that does it in at most 15 lines. Any solution with more lines will not be counted.
