I also used it as a good project to get +better with Perl 6 with. Nowadays, it's doing much more than I anticipated at +the start of the project. I've turned it into a more complete solution for Perl +6 projects in general. + +`assixt` can create new Perl 6 module skeletons, complete with `.gitignore`, +basic CHANGELOG, Travis and GitLab CI configurations and more. It will also +keep version numbers used accross your project in sync, create correct +distribution tarballs and allows you to upload them to [CPAN][cpan] directly +from the command line. + +I've given a presentation on this project at the 14th Dutch Perl Workshop, and +the slides are available [on the Slides section of my site][slides] as well. + +## Installation + +To install `assixt`, you will need to have Perl 6 installed, and `zef` +available as well. I recommend you use [Rakudo Star][rakudo] releases for +these. If you're using GNU+Linux, you might want to take a look at +[LoneStar][lonestar]. This is a Bash program that will fetch, unpack and +compile Rakudo Star Perl 6 for you, including `zef` and a number of other +common modules. + +If you have Perl 6 installed, simply invoke `zef` to install the module +containing `assixt`: + +```sh +zef install App::Assixt +``` + +## Support and feedback + +Check out `assixt --help` for an overview of what you can do with it. You can +also check the README on the repository to get a more extensive overview of the +possibilities, and some examples on how to use it. + +You can also create issues on the repository if you are still having trouble, +or perhaps even found a bug. The `#perl6` channel on Freenode might also be of +assistance, as I am almost always available in that channel (so long as I'm +awake). You can report feedback through issues or IRC as well. + +[cpan]: https://www.cpan.org/ +[slides]: /slides/ +[lonestar]: /projects/lonestar/ +[rakudo]: https://rakudo.org/ |
