Create new Julia packages, the easy way

PkgTemplates

PkgTemplates creates new Julia packages in an easy, repeatable, and customizable way.

Installation

Install with Pkg, just like any other registered Julia package:

pkg> add PkgTemplates  # Press ']' to enter the Pkg REPL mode.

Usage

Creating a Template is as simple as:

using PkgTemplates
t = Template()

The no-keywords constructor assumes the existence of some preexisting Git configuration (set with git config --global):

• user.name: Your real name, e.g. John Smith.
• user.email: Your email address, eg. [e-mail].
• github.user: Your GitHub username: e.g. john-smith.

Once you have a Template, use it to generate a package:

t("MyPkg")

However, it's probably desirable to customize the template to your liking with various options and plugins:

t = Template(;
    dir="~/code",
    plugins=[
        Git(; manifest=true, ssh=true),
        Codecov(),
        TravisCI(; x86=true),
        Documenter{TravisCI}(),
    ],
)
