#JumpStart

Jumpstart is a gem for quickly creating projects.
It does this by running options from a YAML file that you can create, or you can let the gem do it for you.
It's dead easy to do.

## Features
With jumpstart you can:

* Run many terminal commands in a specific order
* Create new projects of any type quickly from templates
* Create files from three different kinds of templates:
  * **Whole templates**. A like for like copy from the template to the new project.
  * **Append templates**. The template is appended to a file generated by a terminal command (e.g. rails)
  * **Line templates**. The template is inserted into a file generated by a terminal command at a specific line number.
* Replace strings in the newly generated project with specified tags (like the project name)
* Automatically configure local Nginx and hosts entries for a new project. (I'm using OS X so this is tailored for the Mac.)
* Remove unwanted files that may have been created by a terminal command (e.g. rails)

# Installation
`gem install jumpstart` should do it.
- - - - -
Or you can clone this git repo:               `git://github.com/i0n/jumpstart.git`  
Build jumpstart from the git repo's gemspec:  `gem build jumpstart.gemspec`  
Install the newly created gem:                `gem install jumpstart-WHATEVER_THE_CURRENT_VERSION_IS.gem`  

## Getting Started
There are a couple of ways to use jumpstart.

If you have already created a template, you can create a new project with a single command from the terminal.  
e.g. **`jumpstart my_new_project_name`**  

If you haven't created any templates yet, or you want to change one of the configuration options (which I'll get to), just call **`jumpstart`** without any arguments. This will launch the jumpstart menu.

###Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
