Skeleton is a management tool for project prototypes. Prototypes are defined in language specific toml files. Skeleton can create directories, touch files, execute predefined commands and download a .gitignore list from gitignore.io.
Skeleton is written in pure Rust because I wanted to learn this language using a small hobby project.
To install skeleton, you need the Rust package manager cargo.
cargo install skeleton
To install the most current version from master:
git clone https://github.com/ntzwrk/skeleton.git
cd skeleton
cargo install
Language specific configuration must be placed in $HOME/.skeleton and are referenced by their name without the
.toml extension.
order = ['mkdir', 'touch', 'exec', 'gitignore']
mkdir = ['src', 'test']
touch = ['README.md']
exec = ['cargo init']
gitignore = ['rust', 'vim']
include = ['global']Every configuration setting is optional. The order setting is used to customize the execution order. The default
order is mkdir, gitignore, touch, exec.
Includes are executed first and in the provided order, followed by the selected configuration.

USAGE:
skeleton --lang <LANG> [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-l, --lang <LANG> Set language configuration
SUBCOMMANDS:
help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
init initialize existing project
new create new project
So to initialize a new Rust project named test_project one would execute skeleton -l rust new test_project.
Therefore a configuration file $HOME/.skeleton/rust.toml must exist.
Shell completions for Bash, Fish,
Zsh and PowerShell can be found in the completions folder.
You can put the Zsh completion file _skeleton in any directory (I use $HOME/.zsh/completions). Then you need
to add this path to $fpath in your .zshrc:
fpath=($HOME/.zsh/completions $fpath)
To rebuild the completion cache you might need to execute the following commands:
rm -f .zcompdump
compinit
