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 🙏

Installation

Global Installation

Global installation is recommended; it allows you to generate and update dotfiles in any folder without specifying an absolute path.

npm install dotfiles-generator --g

Local Installation

You can also install dotfiles-generator locally as a dev dependency, and it will automatically add the common dotfiles required for any project. If a dotfile already exist, it will be skipped.

npm install dotfiles-generator --save-dev

Usage

Once the dotfiles-generator is installed globally, you can add all available dotfiles by passing their name as argument. For e.g.

dotfiles-generator .gitignore .editorconfig

This will add .gitignore and .editorconfig in your current working directory. You can also specify -d or --destination to add dotfiles in any other directory.

dotfiles-generator .gitignore .editorconfig -d examples/

If you have installed dotfiles-generator as local dependency, you can still access the command line by running from node_modules/.bin

node node_modules/.bin/dotfiles-generator .gitignore .editorconfig

Overwriting

If any of the dotfile already exist, dotfiles-generator will not overwrite by default. To force overwrite, you need to pass --overwrite. For e.g.

dotfiles-generator .gitignore .editorconfig --overwrite

Available dotfiles

.gitignore
.editorconfig
.npmignore

Contributing

If you also like the idea of creating standard dotfiles, which can be shared with others, and you think you can contribute by improving the currently available dotfiles or adding new ones, please send a pull request.

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for details on our code of conduct, and the process for submitting pull requests to us.
