💖 FPM-SCAFFOLD(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the page for fpm-scaffold, straight out of the Fortran julienne User Manuals 🎀 it's part of the Fortran julienne fam, and she's here to hand you a whole project structure with zero effort. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

fpm-scaffold — generates project scaffolding for Fortran julienne 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fpm-scaffold [OPTIONS] [PROJECT_NAME]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options optional, project name optional, chaos optional fr fr 🙈

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the julienne scaffold command literally spins up a brand new project directory for you, fully prepped with all the files and structure a Fortran julienne project needs 🫶 we're talking source directories, build configuration, and example files — the whole starter pack, no assembly required. main character energy honestly 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — prints this help message and dips. shows you the goods, then exits 🌈
  • -v, --version — spills the version info and bounces. also exits ⭐
  • -t, --template TEMPLATE — pick which template to scaffold with. default is "basic" 🎀
  • -d, --directory DIR — tell it where to drop the output. default is the current directory 🍓
  • -f, --force — overwrites existing files if they're already sitting there. careful with this one bestie, she will absolutely replace your stuff 💀

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Create a new project in the current directory:

fpm scaffold my_project

Create a project using a specific template:

fpm scaffold -t advanced my_project

Create a project in a specific directory:

fpm scaffold -d ~/projects/ my_project

🧚 FILES 🧚

the following files and directories get created by default, and yes she comes fully furnished ✨:

my_project/
    ├── src/
    │   ├── main.f90
    │   └── ...
    ├── test/
    │   └── ...
    ├── Makefile
    ├── README.md
    └── .gitignore
