Mimeocode

A Node module to copy boilerplate code for new projects, cloned from Github.

Installation

Install dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

Troubleshooting

If you run into any Node-related issues, you probably should make sure you are on a relatively recent version of Node. I would say at least v.10.

Usage

In a terminal screen, use the following command to run this tool:

node index.js [project] [destination]

Available projects include:

• gutenberg-block
• gutenberg-plugin
• static-website
• wordpress-theme

Original premise

Pitch

/want to play with node/ /and create project bootstraps/ /let’s marry the two/

Things I learned during Serendipity Day

• Github organizations to separate out repos
• Tagging repos (also for organizational purposes)
• Github project boards
• Node and file manipulation is not as hard as I thought it would be.
• I really need to organize all my boilerplate templates. They are everywhere!
