Quickstart

1. Clone AStarStartup GitHub workspace.

cd Workspace
git clone https://github.com/AStarStartup/AStarStartup --recursive

2. Delete the .git folder in the AStartupToolkit root folder, create a new git repo, and look around the repository.

cd AStartupToolkit
rmdir /Q /S ".git"

3. Find and replace all references of AStartupToolkit to YourProject.Docs. You can use a different folder name but the tutorial will use YourProject.Docs so you will have to keep that in mind.

4. Find and replace all references of /AStartup to /YourStartup.

4.A For Windows users, use the Powershell script:

I haven't ran this script yet. Please submit fixes via the ITS.

$configFiles = Get-ChildItem . *.md, *.html -rec
foreach ($file in $configFiles)
{
    (Get-Content $file.PSPath) |
    Foreach-Object { $_ -replace "AStarStartup/AStartupToolkit", "YourGitHubAccount/YourGitHubRepoName" } |
    Set-Content $file.PSPath
}
$configFiles = Get-ChildItem . *.md, *.html -rec
foreach ($file in $configFiles)
{
    (Get-Content $file.PSPath) |
    Foreach-Object { $_ -replace "astartup.net", "YourGitHubAccount.github.io" } |
    Set-Content $file.PSPath
}
$configFiles = Get-ChildItem . *.md, *.html -rec
foreach ($file in $configFiles)
{
    (Get-Content $file.PSPath) |
    Foreach-Object { $_ -replace "AStartup", "YourStartup" } |
    Set-Content $file.PSPath
}

4.B BASH users can use the following script:

I haven't ran this script yet. Please submit fixes via the ITS.

find . -name '*.md' -exec sed -i -e 's//AStarStartup//AStartupToolkit/YourGitHubAccount//YourGitHubRepoName/g' {} \;
find . -name '*.md' -exec sed -i -e 's//astartup.net//YourGitHubAccount.github.io/g' {} \;
find . -name '*.md' -exec sed -i -e 's///AStarStartup//YourStartup/g' {} \;

6. Delete the Template Agreement section and replace the License if you want with your own license or one of the Kabuki Licenses.

7. Create a new git repo on GitHub and on your computer, lets call it "Docs", then upload the template to github. In IMUL an underscore after a word (post-underscore) means that it is private and a pre-underscore means that the file or folder is not part of the output files. On gitHub three issue tickets, the first titled "This", the second titled "Session.Future", and the third titled "Add AStartup Toolkit template files".

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Add AStartup Toolkit template files. #3"
git remote add origin https://github.com/YourGitHubAccount/_Docs_.git
git push -u origin master

8. Consult the AStartup Cookbook when you don't know what you're doing; consider making a contribution on GitHub.
