mkml

mkml is a simple but cross-platform command written in Rust to initialize a simple HTML website project with organisation in mind.

This project is still in development, but it is usable. However, there are still stuff that have yet to be complete; for example, selecting a log level flag will not do anything yet.

Usage

USAGE:
    mkml [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
    -l, --log        Set the logging level: 0: No logging, 1: Debug, 2: Info, 3: Warning, 4: Error
    -V, --version    Print version information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    init    Create a HTML project
    clone    Clone an existing project
    update  Fetch and install the latest version if possible
    help    Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Updating

From 0.2.0 and above, you can auto update mkml by simply running mkml update.

If you want to install a different version instead of the latest, run mkml update -v <NUM>.<NUM>.<NUM>. You can also print out available builds by running mkml update -l.

Installing

If you just want the latest executable binary, you can install them without having to build anything from the release page; however, the page may not always contain the latest release so it's better to build from source.

If you're a Rust developer, you can simply run the command to install it:

cargo install mkml

Building from source

Prerequisites

• Rustc

• Cargo

• Minimum Rust version is 1.63 (haven't tested it on older versions)

Rustc and Cargo can be installed from here

To build from source, simply clone this repository. You can clone the repository by running the following command: git clone https://github.com/rohankid1/mkml.git

Alternatively, you can download the zip file containing the source code by clicking on the button labelled "Code". Then click on Download ZIP.

Once done, cd into the folder. It's time for building!

For developers wanting to add their own features, you can edit the source code directly and run cargo r (short for cargo run) to test it in dev mode. The debug binary will be located in target/debug/.

For users who just want to use the program: run cargo build --release. Since this project is not a large project, it will not take too long compile.

Once it has finished compiling, the executable should have been created in target/release/.

To run it, you have to launch it through the terminal.

Also, for quick access, you should copy or move the binary to /usr/local/bin - that way you can just run mkml and not something like: Downloads/mkml/target/release/mkml. You can simply do this by running sudo cp path/to/mkml /usr/local/bin or mv instead of cp if you want to move it.
