###Xcode projects made a piece of cake.

You describe your project in a simple text file: your `Cakefile`.
Xcake creates your project based on this including importing all of your files and creating groups
to match the file hiearchy.

This is perfect for working in teams or with cocoapods as it reduces conflicts,
makes it easy to modify settings and allows you to create a clean project anytime you need to.

Isn't this just like liftoff, generamba or crafter? No these tools are for scafolding a whole project structure to get you started (Creating folder structure, git repo etc.). However xcake is not for this, xcake is just for generating a xcodeproject.

## Features

Xcode projects were once described as "the closest thing to taboo we have to deal with on a regular basis", but it doesnt have to be this way.

Store a simple description of your project in a text file, your `Cakefile`, to easily create a xcode project from _any_ computer. Easily see, merge and maintain the structure of your project, It’s time to add *.xcodeproj into .gitignore!.

You define a project like this:

```ruby
application_for :ios, 8.0 do |target|
  target.name = "MyApp"
end
```

To generate the xcode project, just run:

```sh
xcake make
```

If you would like an example Cakefile for guidence, just run:

```sh
xcake init
```
