About The Project

This is your basic Rust CLI starter kit. Most of the README isn't going to make sense until I figure out exactly what and how I want the project to be built. In the meantime, feel free to use this as-is.

Scaffolding

This project includes it's own scaffolding command which won't show in production builds. To scaffold a new command, you can run the following:

cargo run -- scaffold <NAME>

This will create a new command for you, so you don't have to spend time copying and pasting the example around.

Getting Started

Using this template is pretty easy - just take a look at the prerequisites and installation steps below.

Prerequisites

• Rust

Installation

Most brute-force way to use this template

This'll get you up and running fairly quickly

1. Clone the repo

# with https
git clone https://github.com/MylesWritesCode/rust-cli-starter.git

# or ssh
git clone [email protected]:MylesWritesCode/rust-cli-starter.git

2. Remove the .git directory

# cd into the cloned directory
cd rust-cli-starter

# delete `.git`
rm -rf .git

3. Re-init git

git init

4. Create a repo on your preferred git hosting site (e.g. GitHub)
5. Add your new remote to your local git instance

git remote add origin <your url>
git add .
git commit -m 'init'
git push origin <your branch>

6. Start hacking away

Simpler, since you're here

alternatively, the "I have a Github account" way

1. Github docs telling you to click the button above, labeled "Use this template".
2. ???
3. Profit by hacking away after you clone your new repo.

Usage

This repo is meant to be used as a template for Rust CLI programs. Metadata files will be within the .meta folder. In there, you'll find places to put your project logo and screenshot. Importantly, you'll find a fresh README.md that you can use to overwrite this one.

Happy hacking!
