* http://github.com/jbarnette/basis

== DESCRIPTION:

Basis is smart project skeletons. This is a very, very early release. Basis only
knows how to deal with git:// urls and local file paths right now. Also, there's
no documentation, no way to track remote template lists, dubious cache update
semantics, bad command-line messaging, bad error reporting, and bad code.

Honestly, installing this gem will probably melt your system.

Basis owes a ton to Hoe, Mr. Bones, Rubigen, Newgem, and skel.

== SYNOPSIS:

# List all available templates:
basis list

# Add a template to the local list:
basis add -n rails:example git://github.com/jbarnette/basis-rails.git

# Remove a template from the local list:
basis remove rails:example

# Show a local template's configuration:
basis show rails:example

# Update a local template (or all, without a template name):
basis update rails:example

# Generate a project in ./monkeys:
basis rails:example monkeys

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Subversion and Git (for some templates)
