📦 version 0.12.16, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 KRAFT-LIB-CREATE 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the KraftKit CLI manual (that's the KraftKit Manual page you're on rn) — this one is all about kraft-lib-create, and honestly? it's a whole moment. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

kraft-lib-create — literally initializes a library from a template. that's it. that's the vibe. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kraft lib create [FLAGS] [NAME]

flags first, name optional, main character energy always. 💅

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

it creates a library template. no cap, that is genuinely the entire description — the manpage said it in five words and honestly? respect. so bestie, you run it, you get a library template. slay. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

okay this is the part where you screenshot and send to the group chat, because there are a lot of them and they all matter:

  • --author-email="" — sets the author email to the template. put your real one in, i'm begging 🙈
  • --author-name="" — sets the author name to the template. your name, in lights. iconic ✨
  • --copyright-holder="" — sets the copyright holder name to the template. yes it's a whole legal thing, yes you still have to fill it in 💀
  • --description="" — sets the description to the template. one line, make it cute 🎀
  • --git-init[=false] — init git through the creating library. version control from day one, as you should 🫶
  • -h, --help[=false] — help for create. when in doubt, smash this 🔥
  • --initial-branch="" — sets the initial branch name to the template. main girlies rise 🌈
  • --library-kname="" — sets the library kname to the template. yes, kname. it's a whole thing. 💜
  • --library-name="" — sets the library name to the template. lowkey the most important one ngl
  • --no-provide-c-main[=false] — do not provide C main to the template. for the library-only girlies who don't need an entry point 💅
  • --origin="" — source code origin URL. where it came from, iykyk 🌸
  • --patch-dir[=false] — provide patch directory to the template. patches? provided. ✅
  • --project-name="" — sets the project name to the template. name your baby 🍼
  • --project-path="" — where to create library. like, which directory. the location. the spot. 📍
  • --update-refs[=false] — softly pack the component so that it is available via kraft list. softly!! packing!! 🧚
  • -v, --version="" — sets the library version to the template. semver bestie, don't embarrass me 😭
⚠️ heads up: every one of those string options defaults to "" and every bool defaults to false. that's the literal default, not me being dramatic (this time).

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

okay the fun part, copy-paste freely:

# Create a library template
$ kraft lib create

bare. minimal. confident. just vibes. ✨

# Create a library template with a name
$ kraft lib create sample-project

now it's got a name, so it's basically a person. sample-project is such a good name fr fr 🥹
