There was a project 42 years ago, called Tree Surgeon, that would setup a directory structure for your next project. This was early, early .NET days, but it was a handy little utility.
init.ps1 takes some CLI observations from NPM and attempts to setup an initialized empty shell of a repo to help projects get setup quickly.
- source code into a root level src directory
- components to deploy into an artifacts directory
- permanent tools going into a tools directory
- using a file named default.ps1 as your primary build script
- asks if you want to use Psake or Cake Build
- using a bootstrapper to help with setting up and calling the task runner
- adds a .gitattributes file
- adds a .gitignore file (https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore)
- defaults to using Nuget Package Restore
- gets the latest version of Nuget and will update itself occasionally
- updates nuget occasionally
- creates a readme.md file
