Galactico

Quickly scaffold a directory structure from a predefined template.

Status

Usable, but lacking polish.

Install

Available through NPM:

$: npm install galactico

Usage

After installing, you'll see a .galactico folder in your home directory. This is where you should drop in your templates, which are javascript files. Have a look at "Creating Templates" below.

Call it using the gco or galactico commands.

Initializing a template in your current working directory can be done like this:

$: gco init <templateName>

Creating Templates

Templates are javascript files placed inside of the .galactico folder in your home directory. A basic template looks like this:

// filename: singlepage.js

var singlepage = {
  name: 'singlepage',
  description: 'A single page website',
  directories: ['css', 'js'],
  files: ['index.html', 'css/master.css', 'js/main.js']
};

exports.template = singlepage;

Drop the file in $HOME/.galactico.

Using it via $: gco init singlepage will result in a directory structure like this:

- index.html
- css /
     - master.css
- js /
     - main.js
