New Project From Existing

Clones a git-source to a specific directory and replaces all source-name occurencies by a name of the new Project.

Installation

# sometimes, sudo prefix is required
npm i -g npfe

.

Usage examples

npfe memorizes a URI specified before and makes it possible to use aliases for source projects.

npfe new-project https://github.com/klimcode/base-cra cra

## later
npfe new-project-2 cra

If called w/o arguments then the config file will be opened.

npfe

If source URI or Alias is not specified then the first memorized alias will be used

npfe new-project

.

CLI

npfe <new-project-name> <URI | alias> <new-alias>

npfe considers if <URI | alias> contains a dot symbol (.) then it's a URI else it's an alias.

If URI specified and it is not memorized yet then the <new-alias> argument will be used as an alias for the URI specified. If <new-alias> is not spesicied then a placeholder source_# will be used as an alias.

Configuration

1. sources -- is a list of source repos
2. firstForced -- if true then npfe will silently use the first source repo for cases where <URI | alias> is omitted.
3. clearHistory -- if true then the commits history will be cleared.
4. gitUriTemplate -- is a URI for the new project's git origin. %repo% will be replaced by the new project's name automatically.
5. commands -- a list of terminal commands that will be executed at the final stage. It's convenient to place a npm install command here, e.g.

package.json

All occurrences of the source project's name will be replaced by the new project's name in the package.json file.
