Just a Project Generator

A simple and powerful project generator using just

To use this tool, you may need the knowledge of just and shell script (However, just let you run script using many other languages).

Basically, jpg provides you with useful just recipes, which can be used in your own command to generate projects.

Features

2. simple and there is no extra rules you need to learn

3. use languages and tools you know and you like (e.g. cargo-generate for rust project)

Installation

we install jpg at global just directory.

mkdir -p ~/.config/just
cd ~/.config/just
git clone https://codeberg.org/meow_king/jpg.git jpg

Create and edit ~/.config/just/justfile. Example file:

set allow-duplicate-variables

import "./jpg/mod.just"
import "~/.config/jpg/mod.just"

default:
  just -g --list

Create your user files and template files at ~/.config/jpg/.

You can take https://codeberg.org/meow_king/my-jpg-templates as a reference.

Usage

just -g <command>

you can use just -g --list to show list of available commands.

Override jpg variables

For example, if you want to override JPG_V_USER_NAME, you can add this to your ~/.config/just/justfile.

JPG_V_USER_NAME := "Name"

Define your own template

Be sure to read all libraries files of jpg to know the recipes you can use and what dependencies they need.

For example:

[doc("create new Emacs project")]
new-emacs name: (exit-if-exists name) (jpg-copy-template name "emacs") (jpg-git-jj-init name)
  #!/usr/bin/env sh
  set -eu
  cd '{{name}}'
  mv -n ./xxx.el '{{name}}.el'
  
  read -p "description: " description
  export description
  
  just -g jpg-render-jinja2 .
  
  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alphapapa/makem.sh/master/makem.sh
  chmod +x ./makem.sh
