niminit

Simple program that copies files from ~/.config/niminit to .vscode in your current working directory and optionally initialises a Git repo.

Written in nim!

Currently written to work for Linux, not tested on MacOS, Windows is unsupported for now (feel free to make a pull-request :D).

Install using script

Install using one-liner:

# Clone GitHub repo, compile and install niminit
git clone https://github.com/SangeloDev/niminit && cd niminit && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh

If you've cloned the repo already, you can also directly run install.sh:

$ ./install.sh

Compile & install manually

To compile niminit, run the following command after cloning:

nim c -o:bin/niminit niminit

This will create a directory called bin/ inside the repo. You can copy the binary into your path from there.

Update

1. Open your terminal and cd into the repository.
2. Run git pull to update the local repo.
3. Run ./install.sh again and enjoy!

Usage

To use niminit, run it inside the folder you'd like to initialise, after creating ~/.config/niminit/ and adding the files you'd like to copy there.

Optionally, you can pass the -g flag to also create a git repository.

Uninstall

niminit is self-contained, you can just remove the binary from ~/.local/bin. niminit also uses ~/.config/niminit, so remove that directory and you're done!
