Starter packs (CLI)

[trusktr]

• This will be implemented from docsify-cli.
• Benifits: This will increase the scope of docsify from a docs generator to static site generator.
• No changes are required in the core
• Users can create their own starter-pack on top of the current one in order to fit other uses cases like creating blogging site, portfolios etc.
• docsify-cli will ship with a new flag (maybe named as --starter) and it will do further operation related to that

@trusktr I think we should try the esm think we were talking about first. Cause with that, this feature will be very easy to implement.

[trusktr]

👍

What exactly is the concept of a starter pack?

[anikethsaha]

its like

with command like this

docsify init blog-starter

or

docsify init api-starter

with this, it will clone the template from github.

Actually I am kind of scattering away from this feature as I think the Github's template feature might do the work better.

[trusktr]

Interesting. Does GitHub's template feature include template variables that can be interpolated into the code?

[anikethsaha]

template variables ?

Do you mean secrets from GitHub environment?

We use GitHub Template repos internally and privately for many work. Here's one of them; https://alertbox.github.io/gh-quickstart/#/
For obvious reasons I had to make it a trimmed-down version, but the process more or less the same.
I haven't got a chance to dig deeper into GitHub Developer APIs and Events to figure out a way to change the template repo content when creating a copy using the Use This Template option. It would be awesome if there is a way to do so without having to run any tools and scripts locally, isn't it.
