No Maintenance Intended

Bootstrap Kickstart is deprecated

… and won’t be actively maintained in the future. But there is no need to worry at all, because we’ve released it’s successor called Baumeister. Make sure to check out the Baumeister Yeoman generator.

Features of this generator

Quick install guide

For those already using Yeoman.

npm install -g generator-bootstrap-kickstart
yo bootstrap-kickstart

Dependencies

  • Node.js
  • Grunt

See detailed installation instructions over here if you are new to this.

Getting Started

What is Yeoman?

Trick question. It's not a thing. It's this guy:

Yeoman Logo

Basically, he wears a top hat, lives in your computer, and waits for you to tell him what kind of application you wish to create.

Not every new computer comes with a Yeoman pre-installed. He lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive. Make sure you clean up, he likes new and shiny things.

npm install -g yo

Yeoman Generators

Yeoman travels light. He didn't pack any generators when he moved in. You can think of a generator like a plug-in. You get to choose what type of application you wish to create, such as a Backbone application or even a Chrome extension.

To install generator-bootstrap-kickstart from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-bootstrap-kickstart

Finally, initiate the generator:

yo bootstrap-kickstart

Options via command line flags

--skip-cache

Do not remember prompt answers for next run of the generator

Default: false

yo bootstrap-kickstart --skip-cache

--skip-install

Do not automatically install dependencies

Default: false

yo bootstrap-kickstart --skip-install

--yo-rc

Read and apply options from .yo-rc.json and skip prompting

Default: false

yo bootstrap-kickstart --yo-rc

You could place a .yo-rc.json in the directory you are going to run the generator or in any parent directory up to your user directory (~/.yo-rc.json)

This file should contain the options which are otherwise prompted by Yeoman. See the follwoing example .yo-rc.json:

{
  "generator-bootstrap-kickstart": {
    "projectName": "foozy",
    "projectDescription": "boozy",
    "banner": false,
    "theme": "foozel",
    "boilerplateAmount": "Almost nothing - Just the minimum files and folders",
    "license": "MIT",
    "authorName": "Michael Kühnel",
    "authorUrl": "http://micromata.de",
    "authorMail": "me@foobar.com",
    "projectHomepage": "",
    "projectRepository": "",
    "issueTracker": "",
    "oldIeSupport": false,
    "customPaths": true,
    "distDirectory": "myDist",
    "docsDirectory": "myDocs",
    "reportsDirectory": "myReports",
    "initialVersion": "1.0.0",
    "addDistToVersionControl": true
  }
}

Getting To Know Yeoman

Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.

If you'd like to get to know Yeoman better and meet one of his best friends, Grunt, check out the complete Getting Started Guide.
