I don't use github
No problem with that. In fact, good for you. I'm still there because my friends are.
Spring Boot
Definitely something I didn't think of.
Now that you mention adding a framework, I should probably also let people pick node/npm
and then pick create-react-app
, default
, etc...
Thanks!
Great question, actually. Cookiecutter is a way of using others' project templates, but you have to manually customize everything afterward (like if you need to add C to the gitignore, for example.)
In theory, kwinit could be used with cookiecutter. Maybe you generate a cookiecutter project, but you need to add issue templates, for example.
Generally, cookiecutter is more supported and maybe the better option. But I didn't like that it uses Python and I need to install a bunch of pip libs, and also I had too much free time. So I wrote this.
TL;DR: cookiecutter is more popular, but you may need to manually tweak things. Kwinit will generate common files, and can be used with cookiecutter to add missing files (like gitattributes, LICENSE, issue templates, etc.)
