g8.ignore about giter8

[softprops]

I may take a stab at this one. This same issue bit me already with jquery js files in my template which have a pretty pervasive use of $ which string template loves to bite at.

What do you think of about another name for that file though. I like the analogy to .gitignore but its really not ignoring them, it's just not process/parsing them. Its already ignoring parsing image files without an explicit declaration. What are some good alternatives. .g8noparse, .g8pass? wdyt @n8han?

[n8han]

it might make sense to have this in template.properties, as a property

skipping template may still be useful, but I just added a workaround for charset issue like keystore.jks. see #26

I would like to try to latest version in GitHub. What is the best way to make consript use latest version of giter8 in GitHub?

[eed3si9n]

Here's what I do.

steps

1. install sbt 0.11
2. git pull
3. sbt "project app" +publish-local
4. cs n8han/giter8/0.2.3-SNAPSHOT
5. cs --clean-boot
6. g8

[ngocdaothanh]

I could not publish-local because of this error:
sbt.ResolveException: unresolved dependency: org.scala-tools.sbt#launcher-interface;0.7.4: not found

[eed3si9n]

I guess I had that jar in my cache and didn't notice that it required additional resolver. Fixed it and pushed it.

[ngocdaothanh]

Thank you.
Now there's no more error when running g8 ngocdaothanh/xitrum.

[eed3si9n]

So do we still need ignoring feature since binaries can be skipped via try { UTF-8 } catch?

[n8han]

It could be the difference between a warning and silence.

[ngocdaothanh]

Like @softprops said above, I think this feature is still very useful for text files. A config entry in the default.properties is neat.

[eed3si9n]

I have an implementation ready..

verbatim=*.html *.jpg

Can I push it?

[n8han]

Sounds good to me.

[ngocdaothanh]

verbatim is asked for when I run the command:
g8 ngocdaothanh/xitrum

I think g8 should not asked for it.

[eed3si9n]

To clarify @ngocdaothanh

steps

1. run $ g8 ngocdaothanh/xitrum
2. g8 prompts the following:

New Xitrum project (http://ngocdaothanh.github.com/xitrum) 

name [my_project]: my_project
verbatim [*]: 

Applied ngocdaothanh/xitrum.g8 in my_project

problem

the end user is asked about verbatim's value

expectation

I am guessing that you wanted verbatim omitted from the prompting

[ngocdaothanh]

Yes, that's clear.
I think verbatim is designed specially by the template author, there's no point in letting users customize it.
