The Hades project initializer pretty much does what the name implies. It initializes a Hades project, lets you choose a project template and lets you add packages through a CLI.
{% tabs %} {% tab title="Create without organization name" %}
$ hades new demoproject demo
demo/ - Working name of the project
project.json - Contains the project configuration, initial data (config, connection keys, etc...) and meta-data of libraries installed via Hermes.
libs/ - Source files of libraries
src/ - Upper most directory for source files
demoproject/ - Project name
main.hd - Entrypoint
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Create with organization name" %}

project.json - Contains the project configuration, initial data (config, connection keys, etc...) and meta-data of libraries installed via Hermes.

Hermes is the Hades package manager. Similar to maven or nuget, Hermes has a package file which contains a list of dependencies. Hermes doesn't have its own dedicated package server, but uses Github (if not specified otherwise) as a package server instead. The version of a package specified in the project.json
file translates to the git branch.
$ hermes add hades/xml master
A project.json
file defines a Hades project. The project.json
file contains meta-data of all packages installed through Hermes, initial data (like configuration or connection keys), information about the project itself and even a basic pipeline to execute commands/scripts before and after the execution of a Hades project.
