📦 version 1.3.24, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 new_proj(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to new_proj, section 1 of the manual — the little guy that makes new projects happen ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

new_proj — create a new project 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

19 July 1999 (yes ma'am, this icon has been serving since the 90s 💅)

new [options] filename [template]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So new_proj is literally a program that generates all the files you need to begin a new project. That's it, that's the whole job, and it does it flawlessly 🫶

Here's the tea on how it finds your templates, in order:

  1. First, new_proj looks for templates in ~/.new/projects — your personal stash 💖
  2. Second, it looks in <datadir>/new/projects, where datadir is defined by autoconf. That directory is usually /usr/local/share or /usr/share. No cap.

The projects directory contains several files describing different types of projects. Each file is a set of lines containing filenames and an optional template names. (That's the format, periodt. 📝)

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — print a list of options. Your girl is being so helpful rn 😌
  • -f, --force — overwrite any existing files. Careful bestie, this one does NOT play 💀
  • -l, --list — list projects available. A little menu of your options, iconic 👑
  • -g, --global — use global projects instead of personal ones. Switch that vibe check to the system-wide side 🌈

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • ${datadir}/new/projects — System-wide project directory.
  • ~/.new/projects — User specific project directory.
