Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

When creating a directory, I often forget about adding / at the end of the name, so I have to delete the file and create the directory again.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to change a file into a folder when renaming it by adding a /.

The only downside I can find is renaming it by mistake, but I think it could be fixed with a confirmation, or just being able to use this feature with empty files (0 bytes).

Additional context

No response

Validations

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions

Check the --dir option #1505 as it may provide a better solution to your problem.

[sxyazi]

Yeah please use create --dir, it's a better solution for achieving that.
