Used on my system to create a new "fiddle" project, which is used for small web projects

make_fiddle.rb

 #!/usr/bin/env ruby

mode = "workspace"

style = nil
markup = nil

if ARGV[0] then
	mode = "nothing"
	style = ARGV[0]
	markup = ARGV[1]
else
	puts "Style Type:"
	style = gets.strip
	puts "Markup Type:"
	markup = gets.strip
end

puts mode

all_dirs = `cd ../workspace/fiddle && ls`

dir = all_dirs.split("\n").last()

dir_num = dir.to_i() + 1

dir_num_name = "%02d" % dir_num

`mkdir ../workspace/fiddle/#{dir_num_name}`

to_dir = "cd ../workspace/fiddle/" + dir_num_name + "/ &&"

`#{to_dir} touch main.js`
`#{to_dir} cp ../.template/style.#{style} ./style.#{style}`
`#{to_dir} cp ../.template/index.#{markup} ./index.#{markup}`
`#{to_dir} cp ../.template/makefile ./makefile`
`#{to_dir} cp -a ../.template/build ./build` 
`#{to_dir} ln -s ../.template/lib ./lib`
`#{to_dir} git init`


if mode == "workspace" then
	
	# Start dev environment

	make_args = []

	if markup == "haml" then
		`#{to_dir} touch index.html`
		make_args.push "haml"
	end

	if style == "less" then
		make_args.push "less"
	end

	`#{to_dir} gnome-terminal -x sh -c "watch -n .5 'make #{make_args.join(" ")}'"`
	`#{to_dir} subl .`
	`firefox -new-window file:///home/seve/workspace/fiddle/#{dir_num_name}/index.html`
