:arrow_down: App Installation

Using built application (Not aviable now)

You can download the installer for your Operating System in the releases tab.
It's preferable to download the latest version always for many reasons. Download it here.

Using it as a Python Package

If you're a python enjoyer 🗿 you can install it with pip from pypi.org to your main python installation so you can use it automatically from the terminal.

For doing this, just open a terminal and run: pip install WorkspaceAutomation

Building the python package yourself

You can always download the source version either from latest release and build it yourself. To do so follow the next steps:

Download the Repo

• First go to the latest release on the releases page
• Scroll to the bottom and download the source.zip file
• Unzip the file where you desire

Install the dependencies

• Now make sure you're running on python 3.12.4 (run python --version)
• Now run python -m pip install -r requirements_dev.txt

Install app via pip

• Now run python -m pip install -e .
• Your CLI app is now working and you can call it via command line whenever you want

Usage

:memo: Working on

Im currently documenting the project and solving all known issues(0.1.0 following the convention of Mayor.Minor.Patch)

Already planned releases

VERSION	INCLUDES
0.1.0	First Version
0.2.0	Multilingual support
0.3.0	Up/Un for every installation type
0.4.0	Reestructure help message
0.5.0	Code Review and Refactoring
1.0.0	First Release Version

On consideration

Right now we have three main things in consideration for future updates for this Application, which are:

• URL/APP saving on the go, making it easier to manage your workspaces
• GitLab support
• Git interaction by doing commits, pushes, branches, releases on your workspace on the go.
• More editors support (like JetBrains IDE's and VisualStudio)
• Custom .gitignore adding all folders and files that are not usually wanted in your Repo's like tests or editor configurations.
• Notion support
• Multilingual support (May make the project collaborative)

Feel free to open Feature Requests issues to request things related to this concepts such popular IDE's, popular Git services with REST API's (API needed for being able to give support), unwanted types of files and folders generated by WorkSpace creations, etc.

:open_file_folder: Known Issues

!!! LANGUAGES ARE MISSING, EARLY DEPLOY LEAD TO MISSING THIS OUT

The -y, --yes flag is not working, I know that and I am going to bring a fix soon this week. We are knowledgeable that theres no way to update and uninstall the program via CLI itself if its not installed as a python module, this is not an error, it's jut not implemented yet.
