## Description
CPR is a simple command line utility for managing C/C++ projects through templates. It allows you to initialize a new project and start working quickly while also giving template maintainers flexibility in how they want to structure their templates.
## Features
- Fetch templates from GitHub
- Custom template questions
- `if` and `for` statements in templates
- Nested templates (TODO)
## Non-Goals
While the structure of this project is not fully defined yet, the following are **NOT** goals of this project:
- A full-fledged build system
- A package manager
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Cargo
- Rust 1.74.1 or later
### Using `cargo install`
```bash
cargo install cpr-cli
```
### Using `cargo build`
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cpr-rs/cpr.git
cd cpr
cargo build --release
```
## Usage
```helptext
A simple git-based project manager aimed at C/C++
Usage: cpr [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
Commands:
init Initialize a directory with a template
new Create a new project with a template
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-c, --config <CONFIG> Global configuration file path
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
## Configuration
The default configuration file should be located at `$HOME/.cpr/config.toml`. You can specify a custom configuration file using the `-c` or `--config` flag. Below is the default configuration file:
```toml
default_service = "gh"
[services.gh]
url = "https://github.com/{{ repo }}.git"
[services.gl]
url = "https://gitlab.com/{{ repo }}.git"
[services.bb]
url = "https://bitbucket.org/{{ repo }}.git"
```
Each prefix can then be used to fetch templates from the respective service. `{{ repo }}` will be replaced with the given requested repository. For example, to fetch the `cpr-rs/cpp` template from GitHub, you can use the following command:
```bash
cpr new gh:cpr-rs/cpp
```
