💖 casparize(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the casparize manual page — section 1, USER COMMANDS, we're in the big leagues now 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

casparize — sets up a caspar Makefile in a brand new directory. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

casparize dir (/path/to/config/dir)

casparize file (/path/to/config/dir/file)

two modes, two moods. pick your fighter. 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's what casparize does, and it's literally so helpful:

• it creates a new configuration working directory in your current working directory
• it sets up a Makefile for caspar(7) inside that new directory
• and optionally, it copies an original configuration file from its original system place over into the newly created configuration working directory

like, it's giving personal assistant energy. it just handles it. ✨

---

👑 USAGE 👑

so the way you'd actually use this: you typically run casparize when you've already created the root configuration working directory — you know, the one with its include directory and the install.mk Caspar include file. that part's on you, bestie.

then by analysing your current working directory plus the configuration directory path you hand it on the command line, casparize can deduce the contents of the Makefile in the newly created configuration working directory. yes, it's reading the room. it's perceptive like that. 🔥

so it: creates the new directory, creates the correct Makefile, and optionally copies the given configuration file into the new directory — all ready for its first version commit. main character energy, fr fr. 💜

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

a typical example, and honestly a slay:

$ cd <svn>/etc
$ casparize /etc/postfix/main.cf

what does that get you? it creates the directory <svn>/etc/postfix, creates <svn>/etc/postfix/Makefile with the proper content, and copies /etc/postfix/main.cf into <svn>/etc/postfix/main.cf. 🎀

and then?? you can directly add and commit the new directory. no extra steps. ate. periodt. 💅

💀 BUGS 💀

Non known at this moment.

(that's a direct quote, bestie — not me being silly. zero known bugs. we stay unbothered. ✨)
