# repo-scaffolding
Scaffolding tools for creating and maintaining projects based on Twitter Open Source standards and best practices. The project has 3 parts -
1. [Cookiecutter template to generate Twitter OSS policy files e.g. LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, etc.](https://github.com/twitter/repo-scaffolding#1-cookiecutter)
2. [Script to add License headers to all source files in a project](https://github.com/twitter/repo-scaffolding#2-license-headers-script)
3. [Lint a repository for common missing files (repolinter)](https://github.com/twitter/repo-scaffolding#3-linting-repolinter)
---
## 1. Cookiecutter template to generate OSS policy files
A [cookiecutter](https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter) template to generate necessary files for a Twitter Open Source project.
### Requirements
Install `cookiecutter` command line: `pip install cookiecutter`
---
`pip` is the package manager for Python.
Note: `cookiecutter` can be installed with both `pip` and `pip3`.
### Usage
Run cookiecutter against this repository.
`cookiecutter https://github.com/twitter/repo-scaffolding`
or
`cookiecutter gh:twitter/repo-scaffolding`
or
You can also run it locally after cloning this repository:
`cookiecutter /path/to/directory/`
See [documentation](https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter#readme) for more usage instructions.
### Inputs
See [cookiecutter.json](/cookiecutter.json) for all the variables required as input. Here is the list of places they are used
- `author_full_name`: 1 time in `README.md` in the `Authors` section.
- `author_email`: 1 time in `README.md` in the `Authors` section
- `project_slug`: 1 time in `README.md` and also for the name of the parent directory
- `github_repo_url`: 2 times in `README.md` and 4 times in `CONTRIBUTING.md` for the GitHub repo links
- `short_description`: 1 time in `README.md`
- `project_homepage`: 1 time in `README.md`
- `documentation_homepage`: 1 time in `README.md`
- `mailing_list`: 1 time in `README.md`
- `release_year`: 1 time in `LICENSE` and 1 time in `README.md`
### Notes
- Make sure to update the `TODO` sections in `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` after generating the files
## 2. License Headers
All source files [must have a license header](http://go/licenseheaders) at the top.
If you need to add headers to a lot of files, we recommend using the [google/addlicense](https://github.com/google/addlicense) tool.
## Installation
Download the [latest release](https://github.com/google/addlicense/releases/latest) for your operating system,
and place the binary someone in your shell path (like `/usr/local/bin/`).
Alternately, follow the [instructions for running with Docker](https://github.com/google/addlicense#running-in-a-docker-container).
## Usage
First, check to see which files addlicense would add headers to:
```
$ cd
$ addlicense -check .
```
If that looks right, add the appropriate Twitter headers:
```
$ addlicense -c "Twitter, Inc." -l "Apache-2.0" -s=only .
```
If you have third-party source in a `vendor` or `node_modules` directory, you
can ignore those with the `-ignore` flag to addlicense.
## 3. Linting (repolinter)
Lint all the necessary files in the project. - [Project Homepage](https://github.com/todogroup/repolinter)
- To run against a directory, use `npx repolinter /my/code/dir`
- To run against a git repository, use the --git option: `npx repolinter --git https://my.git.code/awesome`
- Note, if you are running a version of npm < 5.2.0, run `npm install npx` first.
