erlgen¶ ↑

erlgen is a Erlang application generator. It generates the basic application layout with some simple files to build upon.

The basic command is erlgen projectname to generate a skeleton erlang project named projectname. The command-line options include:

--with-git

initializes a git repository in the project folder (does not commit anything).

--gen_server/--gen_fsm/--gen_event

instead of generating a application, generates a skeleton gen_server/fsm/event module with the name specified. If you’re in the root of your project, it will write the fiel to the src directory. If not, it will write it to the current directory.

--help

reminds you about the options.

• Option to choose between Rake/Make/Emake.

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

I would like to thank the authors of the jeweler gem, lots of code in this gem comes from their work.
