This is a good starting point for userscript development. It automates the creation of the meta.js file, so that scripts can auto-update easily.
WARNING Don't run this on an existing repo or it will delete it.
Just clone this repository to the location of your choosing
git clone git@github.com:somini/boilerplate.user.js.git "$YOURNAMEHERE"
and run configure to setup
cd "$YOURNAMEHERE"
./configure
Installs a pre-commit hook that extracts the metadata block from any userscripts present in the current directory, creates a meta.js file and commits it.
It will also remove unwanted files and reset the git repository, so don't run it on an existing repo.
The pre-commit hook and the configure script are stored in the .git-hooks folder. Running
.git-hooks/configure
should configure the hook on other repositories.
- git
- make
- sed
This should be available by default in all Linux distros, and (probably) on Macs.
