Example
Making new copies with different names
Assume a folder with the following files:

- ContactForm.module.scss
- ContactForm.astro
cpar src/ContactForm$ src/MembershipForm$
the folder will contain:
src/
- ContactForm.tsx
- ContactForm.module.scss
- ContactForm.astro
+ MembershipForm.tsx (same contents as ContactForm.tsx)
+ MembershipForm.module.scss (same contents as ContactForm.module.scss)
+ MembershipForm.astro (same contents as ContactForm.astro)
Making new copies with different extensions
Assume a folder with the following files:
src/
- foo.ts
- bar.ts
cpar src/$.js src/$.ts
the folder will contain:
src/
- foo.js
- bar.js
Test Command
cargo test -- --test-threads=1
Use Cases
Probably a bunch, but the ones that prodded me to make the tool in the first place were:
- Build scripts for multi-language projects
- Porting large numbers of MVC Framework HTML templates to
.astro
files - Creating a copy of a web UI component to use as a starter template
Todos for V1
- Implement a proper Rust testing library - the included tests are rudimentary and use the standard library.
- Change tests such that they can run in parallel (currently they only run consecutively)
- Find a way to use the actual Bash wildcard character (
*
) in place of ($
). - Publish to Homebrew + some APT-compatible repository
