<em>Are you doing the <b>same steps over and over again</b> every time you start a new programming project?</em>
<br><br>
<em>Boilr is here to help you <b>create projects from boilerplate templates</b>.</em>
</p>

![Usage Demonstration](assets/usage.gif)

For more details, see [Introduction](https://github.com/tmrts/boilr/wiki/Introduction) page.

# Notes
this is a fork of the original project, to get a build that works for `arm64` (M1 macs)

# Features
* **No dependencies (NodeJS, Python Interpreter etc.)** - Boilr is a single statically linked binary.
Grab the one that fits your architecture, and you're all set to save time by using templates!
* **Full Power of [Golang Templates](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/)** - Golang has powerful templating
constructs which are very easy to learn and powerful.
* **Dead-Simple Template Creation** - Creating boilerplate templates are very easy, check out
the [license template](https://github.com/tmrts/boilr-license) to see a simple, but very useful template for
adding licenses to new projects with a single command.

# Installation
Binaries for Linux & OSX are built automatically by Travis every release.
You can download them directly or run the installation script.

Please see [Installation](https://github.com/tmrts/boilr/wiki/Installation) page for more information.

# Getting Started with Boilr
Use `boilr help` to get the list of available commands.

## Download a Template
In order to download a template from a github repository, use the following command:

```bash
boilr template download <github-repo-path> <template-tag>
boilr template download tmrts/boilr-license license
```

The downloaded template will be saved to local `boilr` registry.

## Save a Local Template
In order to save a template from filesystem to the template registry use the following command:

```bash
boilr template save <template-path> <template-tag>
boilr template save ~/boilr-license license
```

The saved template will be saved to local `boilr` registry.

## Use a Template
For a Boilr template with the given directory structure:

```tree
.
├── project.json
├── README.md
└── template
    └── LICENSE
```

And the following `project.json` context file:

```json
{
    "Author": "Tamer Tas",
    "Year": "2015",
    "License": [
        "Apache Software License 2.0",
        "MIT",
        "GNU GPL v3.0"
    ]
}
```

When using the template with the following command:

```bash
boilr template use <template-tag> <target-dir>
boilr template use license /workspace/tmrts/example-project/
```

The user will be prompted as follows:

```bash
[?] Please choose an option for "License"
    1 -  "Apache Software License 2.0"
    2 -  "MIT"
    3 -  "GNU GPL v3.0"
    Select from 1..3 [default: 1]: 2
[?] Please choose a value for "Year" [default: "2015"]:
[?] Please choose a value for "Author" [default: "Tamer Tas"]:
[✔] Created /workspace/tmrts/example-project/LICENSE
[✔] Successfully executed the project template license in /workspace/tmrts/example-project
```
