Show HN: Thaum, a simple boilerplate and templating command line utility
- flaque 10y agoIn response to the advice I got here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13546201# https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13546201# The project is in a usable state right now, but I'm currently working on autocomplete for templates, listing templates, "undo"ing actions if you've messed up. If you think I should work on other things, let me know!
- Flammy 10y agoA small bit of advice: In the future, make sure your title actually says what your tool does. Perhaps I'm not familiar with the term, but "boilerplating" doesn't shout "command line interface" to me. > Thaum is a simple boilerplate and templating command line utility. would be a great title.
- flaque 10y agoAh, thanks! :D What about "code-generation"? Would that work better?
- richardboegli 10y agoboilerplate is fine. It just needed to mention CLI.
- proaralyst 10y agoI'm not entirely clear on what this tool does. Could you tell me some more about it?
- flaque 10y agoIt's a code scaffolding tool like Yeoman or Plop but without the overhead of writing a large template script to accompany it.
- nevon 10y agoExactly this already exists. It's called Cookiecutter: https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter
- tym0 10y agoIs the only variable you can pass the name of the project?
- flaque 10y agoNot anymore!

- corobo 10y ago> $ sudo chmod -R 755 /usr/local/bin I can't see any downside at a glance but err on the side of caution. Don't make assumptions about someone else's device. Others please correct me if I'm mistaken but a better one would be chmod +x /usr/local/bin/thaum
- flaque 10y agoI believe you are correct, I changed the install to `&&` on `chmod +x /usr/local/bin/thaum`.
