scaffold

Intro

Git

Git is available to be used as the version control system for new projects. Select/Deselect within the scaffold-<PROJECTTYPE>.toml file.

*Please Note that if you also use it for your configuration files and sample directories, then a .gitignore file within your sample directory will interfere with git's ability to track your skeletons/templates properly. So, to allow for this, put what you normally would in a .gitignore file into a GITIGNORE file in your sample directory. And scaffold will convert it to a .gitignore file within your newProject directory.

If you are NOT using git to track your project types and samples/skeletons/templates, then no problem, just place a .gitignore file within the sample directory as you would any other file.

The Process

• The new project directory is created
• Your project skeleton is copied from your sample directory
• your setup/initialization commmands are run
• a git repository is initialized in the project directory
  • and if you enable it, a remote repository is created and setup
