Init command. Closes #124

[james2doyle]

I think I have got this down now. I'll explain some features:

• create either package.lua or init.lua
• defaults to your own username
• defaults to your own author details

This is my first PR that is Lua based, so let me know what needs to be fixed or changed before going ahead.

Actually, I have a question already. What category in the commands/README do I add the help for this?

I like the section Package Management, but Tim may have a different opinion.

Oh man! I was trying to find a better way but didn't think of the string format template. It's a no brainer now. I'll switch to the string format.

I'll get to this ASAP On Sun, Aug 30, 2015 at 1:01 PM Ryan Phillips notifications@github.com wrote:

My only suggestion is to leave the quotes out of the template and write a simple quoting function to make it a little more robust. Though, we don't need to support all input strings I guess, soo maybe that's less needed here. On Aug 30, 2015 3:56 PM, "James Doyle" notifications@github.com wrote:

Ok @creationix I think by using the %q format over %s will fix the quoting issue. This is a simple test:

And here is the description from the Lua.org docs:

To quote an arbitrary string in a secure way, the format function, from the standard string library, offers the option "%q". It surrounds the string with double quotes and properly escapes double quotes, newlines, and some other characters inside the string.

I didn't realize that the %q option existed. No wonder I couldn't find any good Lua string escape functions, they aren't really needed for quotes and string literals.

It doesn't escape $ or backticks, is that a problem here?

[creationix]

Wow, that's great, I never knew about %q. That should work perfectly.

I pulled the latest lit and merge it into this branch so it's good to go

[creationix]
