WarmuP

Overview

WarmuP allows you to define templates for entire projects and change them as technology changes and you learn new things. The templates are kept in source control. Both SVN and Git are supported places to keep your templates. You can also keep your templates in folders and that is the default methodology used currently.

WarmuP is not just about Visual Studio solutions, it can template any set of text files/folders.

Getting started with WarmuP

###Token Replacement You define a template using __NAME__ (note the double underscore) as part of file/folder names and inside of files. Then you run WarmuP telling it what you want to replace NAME with.

In the location you want the generated template to reside run:
[warmuppath]warmup.exe template replacementName [targetDirectoryIfDifferentThanReplacementName]
Ensure that the warmup.exe.config has the correct path to your templates.

WarmuP will also replace custom tokens with pre-configured values.

Custom Replacement Tokens

You can add custom replacement tokens to WarmuP by adding them to the configuration. You can also run a command to add them to the configuration from the command line.
warmup addTextReplacement findName replacementName
i.e. warmup addTextReplacement __COMPANY__ "Somewheres, Intl"
