Code Templates

Developer workflow automation tool for initializing projects, running checks, building, testing, deploying, and managing code templates — all from one CLI.

Commands

Command	Description
`init`	Initialize a new project in the current directory
`check`	Run lint, type check, and tests in one pass
`build`	Build the project
`test`	Run the full test suite
`deploy`	Show deployment guide (build → test → stage → prod)
`config`	Show or edit configuration (stored in `config.json`)
`status`	Check overall project health
`template`	Generate a code template for a given type
`docs`	Generate project documentation
`clean`	Remove build artifacts
`help`	Show help message with all available commands
`version`	Print current version (v2.0.0)

Usage

code-templates <command> [args]

Every command logs its invocation to $DATA_DIR/history.log for auditability.

Data Storage

Default location: $XDG_DATA_HOME/code-templates (falls back to ~/.local/share/code-templates)
Override: Set CODE_TEMPLATES_DIR environment variable to use a custom path
Files stored:
- history.log — timestamped log of every command run
- config.json — project configuration (managed via config command)
- data.log — general data log

Requirements

Bash 4+ with set -euo pipefail (strict mode)
No external dependencies or API keys required
Standard Unix tools (date, pwd)

When to Use

Starting a new project — Run code-templates init to scaffold the project structure in your current directory
Pre-commit quality gate — Use code-templates check to run lint, type checks, and tests together before committing
CI/CD pipeline integration — Chain code-templates build and code-templates test in your pipeline scripts
Deployment planning — Run code-templates deploy to see the full build → test → stage → prod workflow
Project maintenance — Use code-templates clean to remove stale build artifacts, then code-templates status to verify project health

Examples

# Initialize a new project
code-templates init

# Run all quality checks (lint + type check + tests)
code-templates check

# Build the project
code-templates build

# Run the test suite
code-templates test

# See the deployment guide
code-templates deploy

# Generate a code template for a React component
code-templates template react-component

# Generate project docs
code-templates docs

# Check project health
code-templates status

# View or edit config
code-templates config

# Clean up build artifacts
code-templates clean

# Show version
code-templates version

Output

All command output goes to stdout. History is automatically appended to $DATA_DIR/history.log. Redirect output as needed:

code-templates build > build.log 2>&1
