project-template

This is the project template that the Onespacemedia team use to start their projects. It uses the excellent Cookiecutter project as a foundation and uses a lot of its features in the generation process.

Getting started

To start a project using this template, follow these steps:

1. cd to the directory in which your projects typically live (for us, this is ~/Workspace).
2. Ensure you have cookiecutter installed globally on your system - pip install cookiecutter (on Linux sudo apt-get install cookiecutter works too)
3. Install nvm
4. Run cookiecutter gh:onespacemedia/project-template
5. Answer the questions.
6. That's it!

You will need to add a Git remote and probably set up a few other things. Work is ongoing to improve the initial process.

Common issues

Git flow missing

Initialised empty Git repository in /home/username/Workspace/font-g/.git/
git: 'flow' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar commands are
    reflog
    show
Removing project folder.
ERROR: Stopping generation because post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully
Hook script failed (exit status: 1)

Install git-flow (brew install git-flow on Mac, sudo apt-get install git-flow on Linux).

nvm can't be found

/tmp/tmpgyJsw1.sh: line 153: nvm: command not found
Removing project folder.
ERROR: Stopping generation because post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully
Hook script failed (exit status: 127)

Ubuntu uses ~/.profile instead of ~/.bash_profile, but post_gen_project.sh assumes the latter. Create a symlink with ln -s ~/.profile ~/.bash_profile.
