# projmake
A very basic utility to setup predicatble directory patterns
for starting new projects. Also, an excuse to learn `Rust`!
This project is just getting started, and I hope to use it as an application
and framework to learn more `Rust` along the way. In the meantime, I'll try to make
this useful with what I know, and update as I go along my journey. :)
## Installation and Setup
1. Clone the `projmake` repository, and enter the repo directory
```
git clone git@github.com:jdub-2000/projmake.git &&
cd projmake
```
2. Compile `projmake` using `cargo` ; if you don't have `Rust` or `cargo` installed, see the instructions, [here](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html).
```
cargo build --release
```
if all goes well, a binary will placed in the following directory:
`/projmake/target/release/projmake`
3. Make a copy of that binary and place it in the `/usr/bin` directory:
```
sudo cp /projmake/target/release/projmake /usr/bin/
```
4. Exit the terminal
```
exit
```
You should now be able to invoke the compiled binary no matter where you "are" in the filesystem. See below for Usage instructions.
## Usage
To make a new project:
```
projmake foo
```
This yields a directory with the following structure:
```
foo
├── CODE
├── DAT
├── DOC
└── PROD
```
I know, not too impressive, but its a start and a big timesaver for me :)
I hope to make some new feature available soon!
