Purpose

dr-scripts is a CLI tool that abstracts away configuration for Node.js projects. It's responsible for:

• Formatting
• Initializing new repositories (see below for Usage)
• Linting
• Testing
• Validating commit messages
• Validating the codebase pre-commit

Installation

To work on this toolbox:

1. Prerequisite: Have Node.js and NPM installed.
2. Clone the repository and cd into it.
3. Run npm install.

Usage

When creating a new repository/starting a new project:

1. Create and intialize a new Git repository: mkdir repo-name && cd repo-name && git init
2. Initialize the project with a name and files: npx dr-scripts init-repo repo-name
3. Install dr-scripts as a development dependency: npm install --save-dev dr-scripts

After completing the above steps, open the package.json file to see the results of the init-repo script.
