Project

To create a new project from a template, you can use new subcommand.

By default, leroyguillaume/projectctl-templates is used as templates repository. Each directory matches a template. Feel free to open a pull request to add one if you want! You can override it by using --git option.

Liquid is using as template engine. Each file with .liquid extension will be rendered. You can templatize filenames.

projectctl injects some variables:

• name that has for value the project name
• description that has for value the project description (can be set with -d option, unset by default)
• env that contains all environment variables
• git that contains default git configuration

You can also define any variable you want but keep in mind that you will have to set it when you run command by adding --values option.

Examples:

projectctl new rs-lib my-project-name
projectctl new --values '{"repository-url":"https://github.com/username/project-name"}' rs-lib my-project-name

projectctl automatically updated ~/.projectctl/allowed-dirs.

When you want to delete a project, you can run the following command to make sure everything is clean-up:

projectctl destroy my-project-name

Configuration files

When you run projectctl env, these configuration files are loaded (from least to most priority):

• projectctl.yml
• projectctl.local.yml

Note that you can override these locations with option -c (or --config).

All configuration files must match this JSON schema.

You can find here some configuration examples.
