config-getter 0.0.3

Get common config for different types of projects

config-getter

Holds common configuration files for different types of projects. Also provides a CLI to easily copy config into projects, available via PyPI.

Usage

config-getter python .github/workflows/checks.yml  # Add GitHub Action templates for checking Python projects
config-getter python Makefile  # Add Makefile with helpful Python commands
config-getter python .gitignore  # Add Python items into .gitignore

config-getter docker .dockerignore  # Add .dockerignore file
config-getter docker .gitignore  # Add Docker items into .gitignore

config-getter --help                # Show help text

In general, the format is config-getter <TECH> <CONFIG>.

A --force mode will override existing configuration.

Essentially the CLI just downloads the file from GitHub and places it correctly into the project.

Install

# Run in a temporary environment with uvx
uvx config-getter <TECH> <CONFIG>

# Install from source
git clone https://github.com/cooperellidge/get-config.git
make .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
config-getter <TECH> <CONFIG>

Future work

• Get directories full of configuration, e.g. .github/workflows
• Appending configuration to existing files, including JSON
• Aliases, e.g. github = .github/workflows/*
• Custom configuration, e.g. point to other GitHub sources
• Templating, so that you can pre-fill templates with things like project names
• Documentation website, MkDocs hosted on GitHub Pages
