CodeMeta Tools provides a
simple command line tool called cmt
that can be used to
generate project files and software artifacts. It provides a tool called
cme
to edit and manage the CodeMeta file.
The project focuses on leveraging CodeMeta data, directory name and Git repo information for building and release software written in Python, Go, JavaScript or TypeScript. It was motivated by the practices in Caltech Library’s Digital Development Group.
The tools are intended to be run from the project root directory.
cmt
expects the file path of your codemeta.json file as

extension determines the generated content. The tool can generate the
following project files based on the contents of the codemeta.json file.
cme
expects the file path of your codemeta.json file and
optionally the attributes of the CodeMeta object you wish to manage.
