Generate new projects from git repositories
new is a command to create new projects based on existing git repos. It simply shallow clones a repository to a directory with your specified new project name, and cleans up the git files like they were never there. It also supports 1:1 string replacement.
https://pypi.org/project/new-project/
pip install new-projectYou can create new project from any github repository with just the username and project name
The following command will create a new project for you based on this one, if you do not provide a full git url it will default to GitHub:
new myNewProject divanvisagie/newYou can also specify a URL to any git repository that you have access to:
new myNewProject [email protected]:divan/new.gitThese examples are just simple clones though, new also lets authors configure a repository so that it will prompt you to replace strings that you may want to rename for your project.
You can give it a try with:
new myNewProject divanvisagie/kotlin-tested-seedYou will see that it prompts you to replace the package name, just pressing enter will skip this and keep the name:
> new myNewProject divanvisagie/kotlin-tested-seed

Enter replacement text for com.divanvisagie.example
text : com.divanvisagie.example
description: The package name
> com.divanvisagie.mynewprojectThe reason we see this is because the kotlin-tested-seed repository contains a .new.yml file at its root:

strings:
- match: com.divanvisagie.example
description: The package nameYou can configure as many match strings as you want in your own seed projects.
