Create a Boilerplate Github Repository

I just created my first script with ScriptKit. This script boilerplates a repo and pushes it to my GitHub account.

Open Boilerplate Repo in Script Kit

this is my 0.1 version, so still iterating.

import "@johnlindquist/kit";

// Menu: Boilerplate repository
// Description: Create a new github repository
// Shortcut: command option control b

import fs from "fs";
const open = await npm("open");

const { Octokit } = await npm("@octokit/rest");
const simpleGit = await npm("simple-git");

const boilerplateFolder = await env(
  "BOILERPLATE_DIR",
  `What's the path to the boilerplate directory on this machine?`
);

const githubAuthToken = await env(
  "githubAuthToken",
  `Please enter the GitHub token`
);

const octokit = new Octokit({
  auth: githubAuthToken,
});

const project = await arg({
  placeholder: `What is the name of the project?`,
  hint: "repo-name",
  ignoreBlur: true,
});

const description = await arg({
  placeholder: `What is the description of the project?`,
  hint: "description",
  ignoreBlur: true,
});

octokit.rest.repos.createForAuthenticatedUser({
  name: project,
});

if (!fs.existsSync(boilerplateFolder)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(boilerplateFolder);
}

const pwd = `${boilerplateFolder}/${project}`;
fs.mkdirSync(pwd);

const options = {
  baseDir: pwd,
  binary: "git",
  maxConcurrentProcesses: 6,
};

const git = simpleGit(options);

await git
  .init()
  .addRemote("origin", `git@github.com:joelgrimberg/${project}.git`);

await $`cd ${pwd} && npm init -y -init-author-name='Joël Grimberg <joel@joelgrimberg.nl> (https://blog.joelgrimberg.dev)'`;

await $`cd ${pwd} && npm install cypress --save-dev`;

await $`cd ${pwd} && echo '
  <h1 align="center"><a href="https://blog.joelgrimberg.dev">🚀 ${project}</a></h1>' > README.md`;

await $`cd ${pwd} && echo -n "## ${description}" >> README.md`;

await $`echo "node_modules/" > ${pwd}/.gitignore`;

await git.add(".").commit("initial commit");
await $`cd ${pwd} && git push --set-upstream origin main`;

edit(`${pwd}/README.md`, pwd);
browse(`https://github.com/joelgrimberg/${project}`);
