Description
Educational Members receive free access to this course! The course can also be purchased as part of a course bundle.
Imagine this scenario. You need to set up a repository for a new internal project. You create the new repository and run a single shell command that takes the repository URL as an argument. Less than a minute later, your repository has been configured to use your organization’s standard project skeleton, ensuring that even an experimental prototype will have out-of-the-box support for cross-compilation, quality enforcement, and CI processes.
If that’s a world you want to live in, this is the course for you.
In this course, we guide you through automating the process of deploying your reusable project skeleton to a new project. We also guide you through automating the setup process for a new development machine.
You will learn to:
- Automate the setup of a new Git project using a project skeleton with submodules
- Configure the deployment script to support multiple usage options
- Create Bash aliases and functions that are used to set up a new repository with a single command, even if the project skeleton is not present on your system
- Create Bash aliases that simplify the process of working with projects using your standard project skeleton
- Automate the installation and updating of dependencies
- Automate the process of downloading and installing dependencies outside of a package manager
- Automate the setup of configuration files on a new machine
At the end of this course, you will have scripts and custom shell commands that enable you to set up a new repository or new development machine. By doing this work just once, you’ll reap the benefits on every future project that you start.
