TPL

Quickly start up new projects from examples on Github.

Installing

install tpl globally so you can access it on the command line

npm install -g @jmegs/tpl
# or yarn global add @jmegs/tpl

What it does

tpl will shallow clone a repository and re-initialize git, so you have a clean start to your project, without any of the authors commits to worry about.

It basically wraps this squence of commands so you don't have to remember them.

git clone --depth 1 <repo> <directory> && cd <directory> && rm -rf .git && git init && git add -all && git commit -m 'initial commit'

Usage

tpl accepts two arguments

1. the repo you want a copy of
2. the directory you want to put it in (optional)

the repo can either be a full github link or the shorthand <user>/<repo>

# make a fresh copy of static-starter in my-new-site
tpl jmegs/static-starter my-new-site

# make a fresh copy of react-website-starter in a directory of the same name
tpl https://github.com/broccolini/react-website-starter.git
