## What is pyrig?

pyrig generates and maintains a complete, production-ready Python project from a
single command. It creates all the files you need — source structure, tests,
CI/CD, documentation, configs — and keeps them in sync as your project evolves.
Rerun it anytime: pyrig is idempotent.

## Quick Start

```bash
uv init
uv add pyrig
uv run pyrig init
```

See the
[Getting Started Guide](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/more/getting-started/) for detailed setup instructions.

## Features

### Idempotent Project Scaffolding

`pyrig init` generates a complete project in one command — source tree, tests,
CI/CD workflows, documentation, configs, and a working CLI. Run it again
anytime to sync everything; pyrig never overwrites your customizations.

→ [Getting Started](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/more/getting-started/)
· [Generated Structure](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/more/getting-started/#what-you-get)

### Config File System

Every generated file is backed by a Python class that validates and merges
automatically. Override any config by subclassing, or define entirely new
config files — pyrig discovers and manages them for you.

→ [Config Architecture](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/configs/architecture/)

### Automatic CLI

`pyrig init` sets up a CLI for your project that works immediately. Add
commands by defining functions in `<package>.rig.cli.subcommands` — they're
discovered automatically. Shared commands propagate across the entire
dependency chain.

→ [CLI docs](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/cli/)

### Testing Infrastructure

- **pytest** as the test runner with autouse fixtures that enforce best
  practices
- **`pyrig mktests`** generates test skeletons mirroring your source
  structure
- **Autouse fixtures** validate project invariants — init files, config
  correctness, dependency freshness

→ [Test Structure](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/tests/structure/)
· [Autouse Fixtures](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/tests/autouse/)

### Multi-Package Inheritance (`.I` pattern)

Override almost any behavior — configs, tools, CLI commands, builders — by
subclassing the pyrig-provided class. pyrig discovers your implementation
automatically and uses it instead of the default.

This enables creating a **personal pyrig package** with your own standards,
adding it as a dependency to any project, and having `pyrig init` apply
everything automatically.

→ [Tool Architecture](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/tools/architecture/#two-extension-mechanisms)
· [Config Architecture](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/configs/architecture/#automatic-discovery)

### Tool Wrappers

Type-safe wrappers around `uv`, `git`, `ruff`, `pytest`, `bandit`, and more.
Customizable via subclassing for organization-wide or per-project overrides.

→ [Tools](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/tools/)
· [Tooling Choices](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/more/tooling/)

### Builders, Resources & Packaging

- **Builders** — PyInstaller integration and extensible build system
- **Resources** — Reliable file access in both development and PyInstaller
  bundles
- **Packaging** — `uv_build` backend with console script integration

→ [Builders](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/builders/)
· [Resources](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/resources/)

### CI/CD & Repository Automation

Generates GitHub Actions workflows, branch protection configs, issue/PR
templates, and release flows. Verbosity flags (`-v`, `-vv`, `-q`) provide
flexible logging across all commands.

→ [Workflows](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/configs/workflows/)
· [Branch Protection](https://winipedia.github.io/pyrig/configs/branch_protection/)

## CLI Commands

```bash
uv run pyrig init           # Full project initialization
uv run pyrig mkroot         # Create/update all config files
uv run pyrig mktests        # Generate test skeletons
uv run pyrig mkinits        # Create missing __init__.py files
uv run pyrig build          # Build artifacts (PyInstaller, etc.)
uv run pyrig protect-repo   # Configure repository protection
uv run my-project --help    # Your project's CLI
```
