Init current directory

[jayvdb]

My new project creation workflow is usually

$ cd projects
$ mkdir -p foo/foo
$ cd foo
$ vi foo/__init__.py
$ mkdir tests
$ vi tests/test_foo.py
$ pytest
... iterate ...
$ git init

I then want to create all the project junk, after I know what I am building.

As noted above, git init works on the current directory.

Tools like https://pypi.org/project/via/ and https://pypi.org/project/gitinit/ do the same.

$ via -i python -l mit
$ ls -a
.  ..  .gitignore  LICENSE
$ rm .gitignore LICENSE
$ gitinit -l python
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jayvdb/projects/foo/.git/
Creating .gitignore ...
$ ls -a
.  ..  .git  .gitignore

Of course there are many other projects like cookiecutter which work like yehua's current 'new project directory' mode. Note that cookiecutter -o . doesnt create the files in the local directory - it creates a subdir in the local directory.

But why not allow both... ;-)

One 'easy' way to add this mode would be to allow yehua . to indicate use the current directory, or add more args (--current-dir or --in-place?) to override the current 'new project directory' mode.
