Scaffold

This is a project scaffold for Python

To create a new project from Terminal:

• Create a new repo on GitHub with Readme and Python gitignore
• Select code dropdown for new repo and link for SSH link

Create a SSH key

• Type: ssh-keygen -t rsa
• Copy location for public key
• eg: cat /home/ec2-user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
• Copy public key and save in GitHub Settings in SSH keys with the same name as repo

Clone repository

• Checkout git repo in Terminal: git clone [email protected]:machinatoonist/scaffold.git

Create new files

• CD into the new project folder and make the following files:
• $ touch Makefile
• $ touch hello.py
• $ touch test_hello.py
• $ touch requirements.txt
• $ git remote -v

Create new virtual environment using the same name as the repo

• $ python3 -m - venv ~/.scaffold
• Activate this environment
• $ source ~/.scaffold/bin/activate
• Run all the commands in the Makefile
• $ make all

Save files to GitHub

• When finished push to GitHub
• $ git status
• $ git add *
• $ git status
• $ git commit -m "adding initial structure"
• Set tracking for first time use:
• $ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
• $ git config --global user.email [email protected]
• After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:
• $ git commit --amend --reset-author
• $ git push
