Workspace Factory CLI for initializing standard workspace folders

mulch — Workspace Factory CLI

mulch is a lightweight, project-agnostic CLI tool to scaffold and generate workspace directories for any Python project. It bootstraps a standardized workspace folder structure and configuration files inside your project directory.

Set up new projects easily with workspace scaffolding and source-code templating. Key feature: Benefit from introspective directory geters and file getters in the workspace_manager.py file in src, dictated by mulch-scaffold.json and protected by mulch.lock.

Features

• Initialize workspaces with a consistent scaffold defined by mulch-scaffold.json
• Create a default-workspace.toml to track the active workspace
• Works standalone and project-agnostic; no assumptions about your repo layout
• Easily installable and runnable via pipx
