This is a super simple command line module that copies HTML5 boilerplate to your clipboard so that you can open a new file, paste and 💥.
A post about how this module was developed is here and the corresponding branch is tutorial, here.
Currently just works on Macs or things that have pbcopy
$ boilmeWhen you paste you get:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png">

<body>

</html>Should work on all systems.
$ boilme -f FILENAMEWrites the boilerplate to the filename you provide. Relative paths are resolved to the directory in which you run the script.
The boilerplate included here is adapted from the lovely @thefoxis's repository thefoxis/html-boilerplate.
You can use it as-is or adapt it to your own boilerplate needs
You'll need Node.js and NPM (which comes when you install Node.js) on your computer.
Install cli-boilerplate globally on you computer with NPM:
$ npm install -g cli-boilerplateFrom any terminal window, run the boilme command to get the boilerplate copied to you clipboard.
$ boilme
Then paste it where you want it. Done!
You'll need Node.js and NPM (which comes when you install Node.js) on your computer.
Clone this repository (or a fork of it) to your computer:
$ git clone git@github.com:jlord/cli-boilerplate.gitOpen it up in your text editor and edit the boilerplate.html file as you'd like it. Save.
$ cd cli-boilerplateLink this version to your system so that Node uses it when you run boilme. From inside the cli-boilerplate directory link it:
$ npm linkThen run boilme from any terminal window. Yay!
