sticks

Sticks is a Rust command-line tool for managing C and C++ projects. It simplifies the process of creating new projects and managing dependencies in your Makefile.

Features

  • Create new C and C++ projects with a single command.
  • Generate a basic project structure with source files and a Makefile.
  • Automatically set up "Hello, World!" code in the chosen language.
  • Easily add and remove dependencies in your Makefile.

Before proceeding with the quick install, please make sure you have Rust installed. If you don't have Rust installed, you can download and install it from the official Rust website.

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://t.ly/sticks | bash

Installation

To use sticks, you'll need to build the project:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/mAmineChniti/sticks.git

  2. Change the current directory to the project folder:

    cd sticks

  3. Build the project using cargo:

    cargo build --release

  4. Once the build is complete, you can find the binary in the target/release directory. You can add this directory to your system's PATH for convenient usage.

Usage

Creating a New Project

To create a new C project, use the following command:

sticks c <project_name>

To create a new C++ project, use the following command:

sticks cpp <project_name>

Replace <project_name> with the name of your project.

These commands will create a new project directory with the specified name, set up a source file, and create a basic Makefile. The source file will contain a "Hello, World!" program in C++ or C.

Adding a Dependency

To add a dependency to your project's Makefile, use the following command:

sticks add <dependency_name>

Replace <dependency_name> with the name of the dependency you want to add. Sticks will automatically modify your Makefile to include the new dependency. If the install-deps rule doesn't exist in your Makefile, Sticks will create it for you.

To-Do List

  • Implement the removal of dependencies by using the sticks remove <dependency_name> command.
  • Remove the install-deps rule when there are no more dependencies left to install.
  • Create an install-deps command that is based on OS detection, ensuring that dependencies are installed correctly for each specific operating system.
  • Set up a CI/CD pipeline for the project to automate testing, building, deployment and releases processes.
