scaffold

Intro

Use scaffold to setup a new project with a directory skeleton of your design, and if you'd like, it can also automatically initialize local, remote and gitea git repositories for the new project.

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
