**PkgTemplates is a Julia package for creating new Julia packages in an easy,
repeatable, and customizable way.**
## Installation
```julia
pkg> add PkgTemplates
```
## Usage
Assuming you have the relatively standard Git options `user.name`, `user.email` and `github.user` set up globally with `git config --global`, the simplest template requires no arguments:
```julia
julia> using PkgTemplates
julia> t = Template()
Template:
User: christopher-dG
Host: github.com
License: MIT (Chris de Graaf 2018)
Package directory: ~/.julia/dev
Minimum Julia version: v1.0
SSH remote: No
Commit Manifest.toml: No
Plugins: None
julia> generate("MyPkg", t)
julia> run(`git -C $(joinpath(t.dir, "MyPkg")) ls-files`);
.gitignore
LICENSE
Manifest.toml
Project.toml
README.md
REQUIRE
src/MyPkg.jl
test/runtests.jl
```
However, we can also configure a number of keyword arguments to `Template`:
```julia
julia> t = Template(;
user="myusername",
license="ISC",
authors=["Chris de Graaf", "Invenia Technical Computing Corporation"],
dir="~/code",
julia_version=v"0.7",
plugins=[
TravisCI(),
Codecov(),
Coveralls(),
AppVeyor(),
GitHubPages(),
],
)
Template:
User: myusername
Host: github.com
License: ISC (Chris de Graaf, Invenia Technical Computing Corporation 2018)
Package directory: ~/code
Minimum Julia version: v0.7
SSH remote: No
Commit Manifest.toml: No
Plugins:
AppVeyor:

0 gitignore entries
Codecov:
Config file: None
3 gitignore entries: "*.jl.cov", "*.jl.*.cov", "*.jl.mem"

0 gitignore entries
julia> generate(t, "MyPkg2")
julia> run(`git -C $(joinpath(t.dir, "MyPkg2")) ls-files`);
.appveyor.yml

Project.toml
README.md
REQUIRE
docs/Manifest.toml
docs/Project.toml
docs/make.jl
docs/src/index.md
src/MyPkg2.jl
test/runtests.jl
```
Information on each keyword as well as plugin types can be found in the
[documentation](https://invenia.github.io/PkgTemplates.jl/stable).
If that looks like a lot of work, you can also create templates interactively
with `interactive_template`:
[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/31bZqW9u8h5RHpd7gtsemioRV.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/31bZqW9u8h5RHpd7gtsemioRV)
And if that's **still** too much work for you, you can call
`interactive_template` with `fast=true` to use default values for everything
but username and plugin selection.
You can also use `generate_interactive` to interactively generate a template and then
immediately use it to create a new package.
## Comparison to PkgDev
`PkgTemplates` is similar in functionality to
[`PkgDev`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PkgDev.jl)'s `generate` function. However,
`PkgTemplates` offers more customizability in templates and more extensibility via plugins.
For the package registration and release management features that `PkgTemplates` doesn't
include, you are encouraged to use [AttoBot](https://github.com/apps/attobot) instead.
## Contributing
It's extremely easy to extend `PkgTemplates` with new plugins. To get started,
check out the
[plugin development guide](https://invenia.github.io/PkgTemplates.jl/stable/pages/plugin_development.html).
