[!NOTE] Only the creation of Python projects is supported currently.

Run using newby python <project name>.

When run for the first time, you will be asked to set the default author, python manager (pip, pipenv or pyenv), and license (mit, unlicense and boost).

The default values can be changed to using the options below.

The following options are available:

Option	Description
--author, -a	Specify the name of the author, and save as the default author
--author-tmp, -t	[Flag] Specify that the author name will not save as the default author
--license, -l	Specify the license, and save as the default license. Currently supports mit, unlicense and boost
--license-tmp, -k	[Flag] Specify that the license will not be set as default
--manager, -m	Specify the python package manager (and virtual environment). Currently supports pyenv, pip, pipenv. If pip is chosen, the virtual environment will be created using virtualenv.
--venv, -v	[Flag] Creates a virtual environment using the default manager.
--install, -i	[Flag] Install the newby project. If --venv is set, this will be installed in the virtual environment that is created.
--git, -g	[Flag] Initialises git if this flag is set
--precommit, -p	[Flag] Install pre-commit hooks if this flag is set. This requires the --git flag.

Example

Suppose you run:

newby python hello_world -vipg -at 'Random Author' -m pyenv

This will:

• Create a project hello_world,
• Set the default manager to pipenv,
• Create a virtual environment,
• Install the current project in this virtual environment,
• Create and install pre-commit hooks,
• Initialise git, and
• Temporarily set the author to Random Author; i.e. it won't override the default author.
