generator-tribble

Scaffolds an application with an enhanced version of cake build.

Installation

First, install Yeoman and generator-tribble using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-tribble

Usage

Then generate your new project:

mkdir mynewproject
cd mynewproject
yo tribble

You can now use the following commands from the command line.

• cake - run the default target (same as ./build.ps1)
• cake build - run the "Build" Task (same as ./build.ps1 -target build)
• cake test - run the "Test" Task (same as ./build.ps1 -target test)
• cake package - run the "Package" task (you get the picture by now...)
• cake version major/minor/patch - run the "Version" task which increments the GitVersion tag major/minor/patch value similar to npm version patch e.g.

What Tribble does

This generator creates:

• Creates empty src and lib folders
• Optional cake build files (uses generator-cake>=0.2.3)
  • Add common arguments and variables to build.cake
  • Adds some default tasks to build.cake
  • Adds a cake.cmd file (see usage)
• Optional license file (uses generator-license)
• Optional Initialise git repository (uses generator-git-init)
  • Creates a base .gitignore file
  • Performs an initial commit (uses generator-git-init)
  • Create initial git tag (0.1.0)

Still in development:

• Option to connect local repo to remote repo already created in TFS, github, etc.
• Option to create remote repo in TFS, github, etc.
• Optinally create a .vscode folder adding the cake commands as tasks.
