Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

poketask

v0.5.1

Published

Create a .gitignore with a one-line command.

Readme

Poketask

license

A simple command to start any project. Run the command to create a .gitignore, .gitattributes, .editorconfig, README.md and a LICENSE with a one-line command.

Currently, it is compatible with Node >= 8.0.0

Installation

npm install -g poketask

Usage

Command init

It is recommended to execute the command after npm init in your project's root folder. It will then create a README.md, LICENSE, .gitignore, .gitattributes and .editorconfig.

poketask init

Example:

$ poketask init
With poketask you'll be able to generate the following files:
README.md, LICENSE, .gitignore, .gitattributes & .editorconfig

Press ^C at any time to quit.
? package name: my-package
? description: description here
? author name: Pablo Marmol
? license: mit
? gitignore templates: node laravel visualstudiocode
--
.editorconfig created
.gitattributes created
.gitignore created with VisualStudioCode.gitignore, Node.gitignore, Laravel.gitignore
LICENSE created under MIT
README.md created

Command gi (Gitignore)

If you just want to get the gitignore file, it will then create a single .gitignore. You need to specify the gitignore templates.

poketask gi <template> <template> ...

Example:

$ poketask gi node laravel visualstudiocode
.gitignore created with VisualStudioCode.gitignore, Node.gitignore, Laravel.gitignore

The project uses the github gitignore templates and also accepts multiple gitignores.

The list of gitignore templates can be found here.

Command ga (Gitattributes)

If you just want to get the gitattributes file, it will then create a single .gitattributes.

poketask ga

Example:

$ poketask ga
.gitattributes created

Command li (License)

If you just want to get the LICENSE file. Use the next command.

poketask li

Example:

$ poketask li
? author name: Pablo Marmol
? license: mit
--
LICENSE created under MIT

The list of license templates is here.

Thanks
