dotty-cli v0.1.0
Dotty
A small utility for quickly creating dotfiles in a project.
Currently supports creating:
.gitignore
.travis.yml
.editorconfig
.jshintrc
Usage
npm install --global dotty-cli
Dotty works by looking for templates for each file type you want to create. The default location is ~/.dotty
. In there it expects to find a folder for each filetype, with a number of templates inside. For example:
~/.dotty/
.gitignore/
default
node
.travis.yml/
node
ruby
If you ask Dotty to generate a file but do not tell it which template to use, it will use "default". To create a .gitignore
file for example, you would do:
dotty --gi
Which would create a .gitignore
file in your current working directory, copying the file contents of ~/.dotty/.gitignore/default
into it. If you wanted to use a different template, you could do:
dotty --gi node
Which would use the contents of ~/.dotty/.gitignore/node
.
Of course, you can generate more than one file at once:
dotty --ec --tv node
That would generate:
.editorconfig
, using the default template.travis.yml
, using the node template
