Create Boilerplate app script

This script clones the default branch of the repo, asks the user a few questions and then modifies the files among other things, to accomodate the code to the user preferences. The questions include:

• Project name
• Database engine
• Git remote URL where the new project will live

The script also initializes a new git repository and creates random passwords and secrets for the database and secure cookie seed.

Usage

End users use this script like this:

npx github:clevertech/boilerplate#create-boilerplate-app my-new-app

Where my-new-app is the name of the directory where your new project will be stored.

Modifying the script

• Clone the repo and checkout the create-boilerplate-app branch.
• Run yarn to install its dependencies.
• To run the script use node index.js test-dir

From now on you can improve the script by changing its source code.
