Project Manager

Introduction

This is a simple project manager that allows you to create projects and tasks. It's written in Python, and is divided in few simple scripts.

It helps you to import quickly your projects presets, and to automatically do some tasks.

TODO

• Add documentation for the program itself
• Add documentation for programming languages
• Add a tool to easily add presets (with a GUI ?) (maybe with a web interface ?)
• Reconfigure the program with a GUI (Django ?)
• Add presets for other languages
• Cross-platform support (Nearly done)
• Add tool downloaders (for example, download LaTeX, Processing, etc.) (maybe with a web interface as well ?)

Globally :

• Add a web interface to manage the program

Installation

It's a simple Python script, so you need to install Python 3.6 or higher.

Then, you need to install the requirements:

pip3 install argparse

First of all, you need to clone the repository:

git clone https://gitlab.isima.fr/rovandemer/project-manager.git

Linux and Mac

Add the following line in your .bashrc file (for Linux) or .bash_profile file (for Mac):

echo "alias pm='python3 /PATH/TO/program-manager.py'" >> ~/.bashrc
# or
echo "alias pm='python3 /PATH/TO/program-manager.py'" >> ~/.bash_profile

# Source the file
source ~/.bashrc
# or
source ~/.bash_profile

Windows

For Windows, you need to add the script to your PATH environment variable.

Usage

Arguments:

usage: program-manager.py [-h] [-tp] [-g {[languages]}] [-utp] [--git] [--utils]
                          [--processing-import] [--processing-delete] [--clear-folder] [-lg]
                          [--pandoc-compile FILE_NAME] [-ctp]

Options

Personalization

You can personalize the script by adding your own presets in the presets folder :

• The presets contains different folders, each one containing a programming language.
• In each of them, you can add a folder with the name of the preset, and inside it, you can add the files you want to add to the project.
  • You can add a DESC.txt file to add a description of the preset.
  • You can name some folders / files with the following syntax: NAMEX, where X is a number. The script will replace X by a string that you will enter when you will create the project.

Example

Let's say you want to create a preset for a C project, with a main.c file, and a utils folder. You can create a folder c in the presets folder, and inside it, a folder my-preset, with the following structure:

presets
└───c
    └───my-preset
        │   main.c
        │   DESC.txt (optional)
        │
        └───utils

In the DESC.txt file, you can add a description of the preset. In the main.c file, you can add code, and in the utils folder, you can add some files that you want to add to each project created with this preset.

Then, to generate your preset, you can run the following command :

pm -g c

Command prompt will ask you to choose a preset, and done ! You have a new project with your working files.
