Jumpstart

This is a personal utility I use to quickly create skeleton files for small experiments in programming.

Project types

• Basic HTML5 page
• Jade HTML5 page with Twitter's Bootstrap
• jQuery Mobile
• Chrome Extension (content script)
• Processing
• ProcessingJS

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone git://github.com/fzembow/jumpstart.git

To make sure that jumpstart is in your path, run the following in your shell:

JUMP=`pwd`/jumpstart/jumpstart.py
sudo ln -s $JUMP /usr/local/bin/jumpstart

Test that it's working:

jumpstart

Usage

To list all of the available templates, just type jumpstart. To create a directory from one of the templates, type jumpstart TEMPLATE_NAME. Then follow the prompts.

Your new project will be created in a directory from which you ran jumpstart

Adding new templates

For now, just copy an existing template, making sure to fill out jumpstart.json with the files and variables that you require. Variables are replaced within files according to the Pyratemp templating engine.

I'll add a function to generate this manifest from a directory soon.
