Subject: Re: [Quickly-talk] Fwd: Proposal: Abstract hosting service
from project templates.
To: Alistair Buxton <a.j.buxton@xxxxxxxxx>

Hi Alistair
 I forgot about build. So template 1, ubuntu-application, contains
project code and bzr/launcpad commands, template 2 contains a bzr2git
command, removing bzr and initialising git, and release uploading to
githost. No project files or create command so no duplication.

quickly create ubuntu-application foo
cd foo
quickly -t alistairs_template bzr2git
quickly -t alistairs_template release

quickly create ubuntu-cli bar
cd bar
quickly -t alistairs_template bzr2git
quickly -t alistairs_template release

quickly create ubuntu-flash-game foobar
cd foobar
quickly -t alistairs_template bzr2git
quickly -t alistairs_template release
