if you substitute torrents with ipfs this is trivial: # create empty folder FOLDER=`ipfs object new unixfs-dir` # add folders to object FOLDER=`ipfs object patch "$FOLDER" add-link 2017-01 "$HASH_2017_01"` FOLDER=`ipfs object patch "$FOLDER" add-link 2017-02 "$HASH_2017_02"` FOLDER=`ipfs object patch "$FOLDER" add-link 2017-03 "$HASH_2017_03"` # print final hash echo $FOLDER This would result in a hash that has the folders for January, February and March, which can have arbitrary nested folders and files in them.
