Simple publish your package, and then you can use it like so:

yarn create superpower subcommand

API

run({ baseDir, filesMap?, dependencies?, devDependencies? })

const run = require('create-create/run')

baseDir: String

The working directory, recommended that you default to process.cwd() like so:

require('yargs')
  .option('baseDir', {
    default: process.cwd()
  })

filesMap?: Map<String, { text?: String, json?: Object, mode?: Number }>

A Map of files to create in the baseDir. Key can either be a file name string, or an array of file path components relative to baseDir.

The value is an object with either text or json set. Use mode to set the file mode (a la chmod).

const filesMap = new Map()
filesMap.set('readme.md', {
  text: (
`# Heading

## Subheading
`)
})

dependencies?: [String]

An array of dependencies to install. Uses either yarn or npm, dependending on what’s detected (currently presence of yarn.lock file).

devDependencies?: [String]

An array of dev dependencies to install. Like dependencies, but installs using yarn add --dev or npm install --save-dev.
