Kotlin Bootstrap (base / project skeleton)

Introduction

This is a repository intended to serve as a starting point if you want to bootstrap a project in Kotlin.

It could be useful if you want to start from scratch a kata or a little exercise or project. The idea is that you don't have to worry about the boilerplate

• Latest stable kotlin version
• Best practices applied:
  • README.md
  • LICENSE
  • build.gradle.kts
  • .gitignore
• Some useful resources to start coding

How To Start

You could manually clone this repo or just us it as a template

Cloning the repository

We recommend to follow the next step by step process in order to avoid adding the bootstrap project commits to your project Git history:

1. Use this repositoy template
2. Clone your project
3. Move to the project directory: cd your-project-name
4. Build the project for the first time: ./gradlew build
5. Run all the checks: ./gradlew check. This will do some checks that you can perform with isolated commands:
   1. Klint using Spotless: ./gradlew spotlessCheck. If you want to fix style issues automatically: ./gradlew spotlessApply.
   2. Kotlin test: ./gradlew test.
6. To just run the project execute: ./gradlew run
7. Start coding!
