pre

pre is a simple project templating program.

Installing

Clone and run install.sh. You'll be asked to choose between using templates from a GitHub repository or a local folder.

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

The installation script will also add the pre script to your PATH by modifying your .bashrc and .zshrc files.

Configuration

The configuration file is located at $HOME/.pre_config. It contains the path to the templates directory: bash TEMPLATE_FOLDER="/path/to/your/templates" You can edit this file to change the source of your templates.

Usage

To initialize a new project, run the pre script:

pre

Steps:

1. List available templates:

   • The script will list all available templates in the configured template directory.

2. Select a template:

   • You will be prompted to select a template by entering its corresponding number.

3. Enter project name:

   • You will be prompted to enter a name for your new project.

The script will create a new directory with the project name in the current working directory, copy the selected template's contents into it, and replace instances of {{PROJECT_NAME}} with the project name in both file names and file contents.

Uninstallation

To uninstall the Project Templating System, run the uninstall.sh script: bash ./uninstall.sh

Uninstallation Steps:

1. Remove the configuration file:

   • The script will remove the configuration file located at $HOME/.pre_config.

2. Remove the template directory:

   • You will be prompted to confirm whether you want to remove the template directory and its contents.

3. Remove the main script from PATH:

   • The script will remove the pre script from the BIN_DIR ($HOME/bin).

Example

To create a new project using a template:

1. Run the pre script:

bash pre

2. Select a template from the list of available templates.
3. Enter a name for your new project.

The new project will be initialized in the current directory.
