Add Pod lib command

[fabiopelosin]

This command would have two subcommands:

$ pod lib create NAME

Creates a template for a new Pod. It could simply clone a repository (CocoaPods/template) which we would maintain. This repository could be opinionated and show the best practices for creating a library. For example it could have a rake task which would allow to release the new version of the pod.

The release task should:

• take the new version as an argument
• lint locally (lib lint)
• update the version in the podspec
• commit, tag and push the repo
• lint the podspec (spec lint)
• push the podspec

$ pod lib lint

Would replace pod spec lint --local which lints the specification using the files specified in the root of the current folder (ignoring the source of the podspec).

This feature is friendly to those who would like to foster their ruby skills so if somebody would like candidate to improve her/his Ruby-fu I'll be glad to help.

I prefer pod spec create NAME --lib or something along those lines. Creating the skeleton is an extra, we don’t do stuff with ‘libs’, we work with ‘specs’ instead, so the name should reflect that imo.

I'm not sold on the lib name for the subcommand as well. However I think that we should namespace the commands which provide facilities for working with the source of Pod instead of with the spec.

Also it appears that the --local option is a bit too much hidden and some users commit, (even tag) and push to the repo simply to lint the podspec (see the above referenced issue).

On a related note should the naked pod command run pod install like bundler does?

re: naked pod - I think so. Most people will expect to put pod help or pod --help to get the help.

Fair enough, assuming there are at least two commands. (create & lint)

Interesting. I did not know Bundler did that :) I agree with what @orta said.

👍 Local validation should be default.
