This is a script for creating a Haskell project and setting up everything that one usually wants to set up (well, not everything, but I'll add some features -that others use- later). To use it, download new-hs.hs and then put it somewhere in your PATH (for instance, /usr/local/bin):
$ wget https://github.com/aelve/new-hs/blob/master/new-hs.hs
$ chmod +x new-hs.hs
$ sudo mv new-hs.hs /usr/local/bin/new-hs
After that, call new-hs, answer the questions, and a new project would be created in a subfolder.
To change the defaults (repository owner, default license, etc), edit the beginning of the script (the “Settings” section).
Note that the following features are currently missing:
- supporting any VCS but Git
- supporting anything but Github
- creating a Stack project
- not creating a repository / enabling Travis-CI / etc
- testing on GHC HEAD
It creates a new folder with Git repository in it, and then creates a corresponding repository on Github.
- It creates a good .gitignore file.
- It creates a tracking branch and makes a commit.
It generates a .cabal file using cabal init, and optionally creates a Cabal sandbox. It also fills in some additional fields: tested-with, bug-reports, and the source-repository section.
- It enables all warnings (excluding
warn-unused-do-bind). - If you have chosen to put your code into public domain, it creates a LICENSE file with CC0.
- It creates an empty module and a changelog.
- It creates a readme with Travis, Hackage, and license badges.
It enables Travis-CI for the repository and generate a .travis.yml file using hvr's multi-ghc-travis script.
- It makes Travis-CI treat warnings as errors (by adding
-Werror).
- GHC to run the script (7.6.3 or later)
- Git to create the repository
- cabal-install to create the project
- Github's client
hub - Travis-CI's client
travis
On Arch Linux, you can install all of those things by doing
$ yaourt -S ghc git cabal-install hub ruby-travis
