Project Creation and Git Management Scripts

This repository contains two Python scripts that work together to create a new project structure and manage Git operations:

1. create_project.py: Creates a new project structure with predefined directories and files.
2. git_manager.py: Manages Git operations for the project.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Git installed and configured on your system

Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the scripts:

   • create_project.py
   • git_manager.py

2. Place both scripts in the same directory where you want to create your new projects.

Usage

Creating a New Project

To create a new project with the predefined structure and initialize Git:

This will:

• Create a new directory with the given project name
• Set up the project structure (directories and files)
• Initialize a Git repository
• Create a .gitignore file
• Make an initial commit
• Create a save point (Git tag)

Managing Git Operations

The git_manager.py script can be used independently for Git operations:

1. To initialize Git and push to a remote repository:

   python git_manager.py <remote_repo_url>
   

2. To make a commit with a custom message:

   python git_manager.py "Your commit message here"
   

3. To perform local Git operations without pushing:

   python git_manager.py
   

Script Details

create_project.py

This script:

• Creates a project directory with the given name
• Sets up predefined subdirectories (src, tests, docs, data, config)
• Creates initial empty files (README.md, requirements.txt, .gitignore, etc.)
• Calls git_manager.py to initialize Git for the new project

git_manager.py

This script provides functions for:

• Initializing a Git repository
• Creating a .gitignore file
• Adding files to staging
• Committing changes
• Creating save points (tags)
• Setting up a remote repository
• Pushing changes to a remote repository
• Creating and switching branches

Customization

• Modify the DIRECTORIES and FILES lists in create_project.py to change the project structure.
• Edit the gitignore_content in git_manager.py to customize the .gitignore file.

Notes

• The scripts use logging to provide information about the operations being performed.
• Error handling is implemented to catch and report issues during execution.
• Make sure you have the necessary permissions to create directories and files in the location where you run these scripts.
