init-npm-project

arrange a minimal setup for an npm project

Installation

This package is best consumed as a CLI command, so

npm install --global init-npm-project

Usage

init-npm-project [--name] [--description] [--author] [--no-github] [--no-mkdir]

By default, name, description and author name are asked before creation. If you like one-liners, you may provide them using the named args.
GitHub credentials cannot be provided as args, you always have to type them.

--name

The name of your next project.

--description

The description of you next project.

--author

Your name (and optionally email). This gets directly dumped in the package.json author field.

--no-mkdir

Do not create a dir but use an existent one.
Be careful because the tool may overwrite existing files (package.json, README.md, .gitignore).

--no-github

If this flag is specified, nothing GitHub-related will be done.
Otherwise, the tool will ask for your GitHub credentials (which are not stored in any way, you can check the code).
