Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the xmake create command by introducing a new --list option. This feature provides users with an easy and direct way to discover and view all available project templates, with the added flexibility of filtering by specific programming languages. The change improves the overall user experience by making template selection more intuitive and accessible directly from the command line.

Highlights

  • New Feature: List Templates: Introduced the xmake create --list command, allowing users to view all available project templates, optionally filtered by language.
  • Template Listing Functionality: Added a new internal function _list_templates in main.lua responsible for retrieving and printing templates for specified languages.
  • Command-line Option Integration: Implemented the --list option within the create task's main function, which triggers the template listing and then exits.
  • Improved Help Text: Updated the help message for the --template option in xmake.lua to guide users to the new --list command for template discovery.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Changelog
  • xmake/actions/create/main.lua
    • Added a new function _list_templates to handle the display of available project templates.
    • Integrated logic into the main function to process the --list option, calling _list_templates and then exiting.
  • xmake/actions/create/xmake.lua
    • Defined the new --list command-line option for the create task, including its description and example usage.
    • Modified the help description for the --template option to advise users to use xmake create --list for template discovery.
