Basic Scala Template

This is a template to help you get started writing Scala code quickly. This was introduced on my blog-post here. You can read that to understand what was added to this and why.

Getting Started

First you'll need to setup the project locally. I like to do the following:

git clone git://github.com/JohnMurray/basic-scala-template.git $HOME/.basic-scala-template
echo 'alias scala-new="$HOME/.basic-scala-template/scala-new"' >>~/.bashrc

Of course you can put it wherever you'd like and source the scala-new script however you'd like. This is just how I tend to set things up on my machines. From here you're good to create your first template:

scala-new my-new-project
cd my-new-project/

./sbt
# have fun!

That's all there is to it.

Contributing

If you think there is something that I am sorely missing from this project or if you have an improvement that you'd like to make, please feel free to open an issue or make a pull request. I'd love to pull in improvements if it makes peoples lives easier when creating new Scala projects.
