piv

a simple and extensible command line file generator

rationale

• command line tools are almost always faster than any gui or web interface

• the idea of using a code generator to generate as much of itself as possible is appealing

installation

at this stage, you need to clone the repository and put the bin directory on the path. i’ll turn this into a gem as soon as piv can generate a gemspec.

usage

piv ruby foo

this will create a foo ruby project together with the standard folders and files that i’d usually create for a ruby project

ruby flavour

once you’ve generated a ruby project you can use various generators

piv class foo bar baz

this will create a Foo::Bar::Baz class, an associated spec and open both in a text editor (hardcoded to sublime text 2 at the moment)

piv module foo bar baz

this will create a module instead of a class and a spec and open both in a text editor

piv destroy foo bar baz

this will destroy Foo::Bar::Baz (and any associated files)

future plans

• add gem related commands for ruby flavour

• add other flavours (clojure? python? make up a whole new language?)

• editor should be configurable

• write some damn specs
