Telestion Project Template

This is a template for Telestion projects. It provides the boilerplate code so can instantly start to develop your groundstation.

Setup

For a more in-depth guide on how to start a new project, take a look on our developer documentation.

Via GitHub

First, press the Use this template button.

Now, GitHub asks you some required information. Select a suitable user/group and give the repository a meaningful name.

Next, select your repository's visibility. When you're happy with your information, press the Create repository from template button.

Now, go to the Actions Tab in the GitHub UI and choose the Initialize Action. Then click Run workflow and enter your preferences like so:

It is recommended to follow Maven Central groupId naming conventions, e.g. beginning with the company url in reverse.

Let GitHub Actions initialize your project.

Manually

1. Create a new and empty git repository:

   mkdir my-telestion-project
   cd my-telestion-project
   git init

2. Fetch the changes from this template:

   git fetch --depth=1 -n "https://github.com/wuespace/telestion-project-template.git"

3. Create an orphaned commit to start from there:

   git reset --hard "$(git commit-tree FETCH_HEAD^{tree} -m "feat: Initial commit")"

4. Run the initialize script:

   ./scripts/initialize.sh

5. Commit your changes as suggested by the script:

   git add .
   git commit -m "feat: Initialize project"

6. (Optional) Add a remote repository where you can push your project:

   git remote add origin "[email protected]:your-name/my-telestion-project.git"
   git branch -M main
   git push -u origin main
