Recycle is a glorified copy-paste utility for managing commonly-used templates and boilerplate. After creating a template once, you can save it with recycle for use in the future. Recycle can manage templates for single files or even entire directory structures.

Recycle can be installed with pip:

pip install recycle

Or by cloning the repo and running

python setup.py install

To save some files for later use, simply run

re new NAME_OF_TEMPLATE LOCATION/OF/FILES

So for example

re new MathHomework ~/homework.tex

Would save the file homework.tex under the name "MathHomework" Similarly,

re new WebApp ~/WebAppTemplate/

Would save all the files and folders within ~/WebAppTemplate under the name "WebApp"

NOTE: If you try to same something using a name that has already been assigned, you will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. This will completely replace the existing saved files.

To use an existing template, run

re use NAME_OF_TEMPLATE

This will copy all of the files associated with that name to the current directory. For example, to create a new web app one might use

mkdir SuperRadWebApp
cd SuperRadWebApp
re use WebApp

Boom! All your files are magically there. You can get started on the fun stuff.

You can list all the templates you have with

re list

No explanation needed, hopefully

You can delete a template with

re delete NAME

As expected, this is permanent and cannot be undone.

Feel free to contribute. All I ask is that you adhere to the existing style, namely, tabs over spaces, and double quotes over single quotes. All pull requests should be based on the 'dev' branch.
