Guide

pro uses Github to host packages. This is because it is fast and easy to create a new one and push it to Github for immediate use. The first thing you need to do is set Github username (alias: u):

$ pro set user CreaturePhil
[pro] user set to CreaturePhil

Then to get a repository that will install in the current directory:

$ pro alpha
Getting "alpha" repository

Done, without errors.

If you want to specify a directory to install to:

$ pro alpha express-project
Getting "alpha" repository into "express-project" directory

Done, without errors.

To set a repository for quickly installing a single file (aliases: file, f):

$ pro set files scaffold
[pro] files set to scaffold

Getting the file that will install in the current directory:

$ pro index.html
Getting "index.html" file

Done, without errors.

The difference between getting a repository or a file is specifying a dot ".". pro index will get the index repository and pro index.html will get the index.html file from your files repository. To get a repository with a dot ., use the -d or --dot option:

$ pro -d creaturephil.github.io
Getting "creaturephil.github.io" repository

Done, without errors.

To get a file without a dot ., use the '-n' or '--nodot' option:

$ pro -n LICENSE
Getting "LICENSE" file

Done, without errors.

Getting a repository without having to set a user:

$ pro fakesloth/buma
Getting "buma" repository

Done, without errors.

List your set Github username and files repository:

$ pro list
User: CreaturePhil
Files: scaffold

List all Github repositories (alias: repo):

$ pro repos

List all files (alias: file):

$ pro files
