KICKOFF is a commandline tool for quick and easy project bootstrapping.

Have an amazing idea and want to dive straight into coding?

Setup your new project with one command!

Demo:

Install

go get -u github.com/dreadl0ck/kickoff

Usage

kickoff [template] <projectname>

Configuration

KICKOFF looks inside the $HOME/.kickoff directory for project templates when started.

Each subfolder and all its contents will serve as template and will simply be copied into a new directory with the desired project name.

If no template name was specified, the default folder will be used.

If you want to automatically initialize a git repository, just create an empty .git folder into your template.

Configuration Examples

A simple template directory could look like this:

user@host:~/.kickoff$ tree
.
├── default
│   ├── AUTHORS
│   ├── LICENSE
│   ├── Makefile
│   ├── README.md
│   └── TODO.md
├── go
│   ├── AUTHORS
│   ├── LICENSE
│   ├── Makefile
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── TODO.md
│   ├── main.go
│   └── zeus
│       ├── bench.sh
│       ├── build.sh
│       ├── clean.sh
│       ├── install.sh
│       ├── run.sh
│       └── test.sh
├── haskell
│   ├── AUTHORS
│   ├── LICENSE
│   ├── Makefile
│   ├── README.md
│   ├── TODO.md
│   └── main.hs
└── python
    ├── AUTHORS
    ├── LICENSE
    ├── Makefile
    ├── README.md
    ├── TODO.md
    └── main.py

5 directories, 29 files

What you see here are 4 template directories, for the python, haskell and go programming languages and one for a default project.

Usage Examples

Usage is pretty straight forward. Here's a simple example for creating a new go project:

# bootstrap a new project named testProject
# use the go template
$ kickoff go testProject
...

Build System

KICKOFF uses ZEUS as its build system. But you can also use the go tools for compilation / installation directly.
