scaffold

Copy any GitHub repo contents as a scaffold.

Usage

npx @kazuma1989/scaffold <username>/<repo>

Requirements: Node.js (including npx)

Example

% npx @kazuma1989/scaffold kazuma1989/scaffold-react
% ls -1A
.gitignore
.prettierrc
.vscode
package-lock.json
package.json
src
tsconfig.json

You can now run npm install && npm start to start serving a web app.

The contents are not cloned but just downloaded, so:

% git status
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

Limitations (open issues to feature request)

• Scaffold repo must be public.
• The target branch must be "master".
• There is no way to use sub directories as a scaffolding root.
• No replacement for interpolation syntax.
• No updating method (Caution! The command overwrites existing files!)
