Create, use and share easily reusable bootstrap packages called bricks.

Setup  ~  FAQ  ~  Documentation

Crane is a CLI tool that allows you to create bricks that you can later add to any project.

A brick is an instruction. It can be a file that gets added, a command that executes or lines getting replaced in a target file.

Examples

License brick

Instead of having to look up and copy your desired license from the web, you can create a brick out of it and then run crane add some-license.

Language specific bricks

You can create multiple bricks and combine them behind an alias.

This way, you can easily bootstrap new projects!

$ cargo new my_project && cd my_project
# ...
$ crane add rust
→ Executing 4 bricks
  • mit
  • serde
  • rustfmt
  • rustauthor
# ...

Getting Started

Install the CLI using cargo (more options coming soon!)

cargo install crane

and set up shell completions (not required):

ZSH

# ~/.zshrc
eval "$(crane completion zsh)"

Bash

# ~/.bashrc
eval "$(crane completion bash)"

Fish

# ~/.config/fish/config.fish
crane completion fish | source
