See [Implementation](#implementation) for more details.

## Developer Notes

### Create Github Repository

1. Ensure [git](https://git-scm.com/) is installed
2. Change directory to the generated folder `cd `
3. Initialize the repository
4. Add the generated files to commit
5. Create an empty [Github repository](https://help.github.com/articles/create-a-repo/) with the same name as `template_name`
6. Pull any changes if the Github repository is not empty
7. Push the commit from `4.` to your created Github repository

```
git init
git add .
git commit -a -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com//.git
git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories
git push -u origin master
```

### Implementation

This code creates folders and files for [cookiecutter](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cookiecutter) templates.

* The main file is [cookiecutter.json](https://github.com/rrwen/cookiecutter-npm/blob/master/cookiecutter.json) which defines the inputs for the command line interface
* The inputs then replace any values surrounded with `{{}}` inside the folder [{{cookiecutter.template_name}}](https://github.com/rrwen/cookiecutter-reveal/tree/master/%7B%7Bcookiecutter.template_name%7D%7D)

```
cookiecutter <-- template tool
|
cookiecutter.json <-- template inputs
|
{{cookiecutter.template_name}} <-- generated template
```

The following files will be created inside a folder with the same name as the `template_name` input:

File | Description
--- | ---
**docs/edit/logo.png** | Logo image to show on slides
**docs/edit/style.css** | [CSS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS) file for styling the slides
**slides/.md** | [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) file containing the slide contents
**template.html** | A [reveal-md](https://www.npmjs.com/package/reveal-md) custom template file for generating slides

**.npmignore** | A file to specify ignoring `docs/*`
**LICENSE** | MIT [license file](https://help.github.com/articles/licensing-a-repository/) automatically created from github
**.travis.yml** | A [.travis.yml](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/) file for automatic builds and tests
**package.json** | The [npm package.json](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json) specifications with [reveal-md](https://www.npmjs.com/package/reveal-md) and [decktape](https://www.npmjs.com/package/decktape) dependencies
