mkpr — make project

Fast Zig CLI tool to create projects from a set of opinionated language templates

Usage

mkpr <template> <project-name>

• Use mkpr ls for a list of templates

Motive

Originally based on my project golaunch, mkpr is intended to be a comprehensive set of utility scripts and templates for my personal projects.

Just was chosen as the command runner of choice for its flexibility and simple shell-like syntax. Simply running just build and having a cohesive toolchain is far easier and less headache than having build scripts with different syntax for each language I use for a project.

Installing

• I'll add to some package repos eventually
• Until then, there is binaries available in releases

Building

• Requires zig version 0.14.0 and just installed

git clone https://github.com/Sophed/mkpr
cd mkpr
just build

• Output binaries can be found in zig-out/bin/

Available Templates

Go

• Requires go installed

  example
  ├── .gitignore <- language specific ignores
  ├─ app
  │  ├─ main.go
  │  └─ main_test.go
  ├─ build
  │  └─ bin <- output binary
  ├─ go.mod
  ├─ justfile <- build/run/test scripts
  ├─ LICENSE <- auto generated MIT license from username/current year
  └─ README.md <- auto generated with project name

Rust

• Requires cargo installed
• The built in cargo init was mostly sufficient, this template just adds meta files
