Initialization

To start a new Bender project, use the init command to set up a basic manifest:

bender init

How it Works

Bender attempts to intelligently pre-fill your Bender.yml with the following information:

• Package Name: Set to the name of the current working directory.
• Authors: Pulled automatically from your global Git configuration (git config user.name and git config user.email).

The Generated Manifest

The command creates a Bender.yml file with a structure similar to this:

package:
  name: my_new_ip
  authors:
    - "John Doe <john@doe.com>"

dependencies:

sources:
  # Source files grouped in levels. 
  # Level 0

Once the manifest is created, you can begin adding your dependencies and source files to the respective sections.
