Skeleton is a management tool for project prototypes. Prototypes are defined in language specific toml files. Skeleton can create directories, touch files, execute predefined commands and download a .gitignore list from gitignore.io.
Skeleton is written in pure Rust because I wanted to learn this language using a small hobby project.
To install skeleton, you need the Rust package manager cargo.
cargo install skeleton
To install the most current version from master (might be buggy):
git clone https://github.com/ntzwrk/skeleton.git
cd skeleton
cargo install
Language specific configuration must be placed in ${HOME}/.skeleton and are referenced by their name without the .toml extension.
toml
order = ['mkdir', 'touch', 'exec', 'gitignore']
mkdir = ['src', 'test']
touch = ['README.md']
exec = ['cargo init']
gitignore = ['rust', 'vim']
include = ['global']
Every configuration setting is optional. The order setting is used to customize the execution order. The default
order is mkdir, gitignore, touch, exec.
Includes are executed first and in the provided order, followed by the selected configuration.
``` Skeleton 0.2.1 Valentin B. vbrandl@riseup.net Skeleton project manager
USAGE:
skeleton --lang
FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-l, --lang
SUBCOMMANDS: help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) init initialize existing project new create new project ```
So to initialize a new Rust project named test_project one would execute skeleton -l rust new test_project. Therefore a configuration file $HOME/.skeleton/rust.toml must exist.
Shell completions for Bash and Fish can be found in the completions folder. Completion for other shells will be available as soon as clap supports them.
