create-app 0.3

A tool that allows to quickly get your basic project structure ready, while adopting the best technologies, tools, and practices.

create_app is a tool for creating applications from templates.

When developers start a new project, they perform some repetitive tasks to build the basic project structure before actually start coding features. This basic structure involves things like: Well, the project structure, unit testing, code coverage, containerization, code linting and formatting, GIT hooks, building code documentation, among many others.

create_app is a tool that allows to quickly get your basic project structure ready. It provides a set of templates from which you can get your project started, plus it's super easy to use and encourages the adoption of the best technologies, tools, and practices.

At the moment, there are only Python templates available. But create_app can generate projects of any language.

Installation

Just install it with PIP:

python -m pip install create_app

Usage

Run this command to generate your project:

create_app [template_name]

Or:

Application Creators is a new GitHub organization I've created to host, debate, and maintain this tool and the project templates. Its goal is to generate state-of-the-art templates useful to everyone. Feel free to express you opinion and contribute!
