Scaffold

A mix task for creating new projects based on templates fetched from a Git-repo.

Notice, these projects does not need to be Elixir projects, any file structure should do as a template.

This is work in progress. Stuff will change radically from version to version. This has only been tested on OS X Yosemite. Please contact me about your experiences on other operating systems.

As of yet it is able to create a new project based on data in a local Git repository. Planned features include placeholders and other neat stuff. Please check the projects Github issues and add feature- and pull-requests. Thanks.

Flags

--template name will pick the branch name as the template.

Setting up the Git repo

Create a .scaffold folder in your home directory and initialize a git repository in it. Alternatively a Git repository could be initialized on a site like Github and cloned into the .scaffold directory.

mix scaffold will look in this folder and use master as its template unless the --template flag has been set, as described in the Flags-section.

Dependencies

This project uses the awesome Gitex project by Arnaud Wetzel (released under the MIT License (MIT)) to communicate with the Git repository.
