Slate::Installer

Build Status

Slate::Installer is a utility to install (or update) Slate into the docs folder of your project. You then can then add and modify the slate docs right within the same repo as the code it is documenting.

Running the installer on an existing slate installation will pull down the latest slate source and allow you to pick and choose which files to replace so you easily get updates without clobbering your modifications.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

  gem 'slate-installer'

And then execute:

  $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

  $ gem install slate-installer

Usage

Slate::Installer is powered by Thor, so you can run

$ slate-installer

Slate Installer commands:
  slate-installer help [COMMAND]  # Describe available commands or one specific command
  slate-installer install         # creates a docs folder and installs latest slate into it

Options:
  -l, [--logo=LOGO]        # path to custom logo file
  -d, [--dev], [--no-dev]  # install from the slate dev branch

Runtime options:
  -f, [--force]                    # Overwrite files that already exist
  -p, [--pretend], [--no-pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes
  -q, [--quiet], [--no-quiet]      # Suppress status output
  -s, [--skip], [--no-skip]        # Skip files that already exist

to see all the available options.

To install slate into your docs folder run

  $ slate-installer install

You can optionally specify the path to a custom logo to have that overwrite the slate logo during install

  $ slate-installer install -l path/to/logo.png

You can optionally install slate from its dev branch instead of master with the -d option

  $ slate-installer install -d

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
