Pont
Pont is a simple project template generator and loader. You can generate templates and load them from Git repositories or local directories.
Installation
Currently, pont
can only be installed using cargo.
cargo install pont
Prerequisites
git
should be installed and available in your PATH.
Usage
Generate a template
pont new --name <template-name> # to create a new directory
or
pont init # to use the current directory
Build a project from a template
pont build --name <template-name> --from <source>
How does it work?
Pont creates a pont.yaml
file when you initialize a new project, which it then consumes during the build process.
A pont.yaml
file contains 4 fields:
- the
pont
version used for the template (the localpont
version should match this). - the template's name (which will be replaced by your project name);
- a list of commands that will be run when the project is built;
- a list of ignored files (which will not get their name or content replaced).
It is a good idea to always include the .git
directory in the ignore
list, as attempting to rewrite any of the files inside it might corrupt your Git repository.
pont.yaml
example:
version: 0.3.0
name: pont
commands:
- echo "Initializing Pont..."
ignore:
- .git/*
- *.txt
Example
pont new --name rust_server_template
cd ./rust_server_template
cargo init
cargo add axum tokio serde serde_json
git remote add origin <your-remote-repo>
git add .
git commit -m "Base project"
git push
cd ../
pont build --name cool_rust_app --from <your-remote-repo>
