cdist-new-type is a helper script that creates new type skeleton. It is then up to the type author to finish the type.

It creates skeletons for the following files:

Upon creation it prints the path to the newly created type directory.

TYPE-NAME

Name of the new type.

AUTHOR-NAME

Type author's full name.

AUTHOR-NAME

Type author's email.

TYPE-BASE-PATH

Path to the base directory of the type. If not set it defaults to '$PWD/type'.

# Create new type __foo in ~/.cdist directory.
$ cd ~/.cdist
$ cdist-new-type '__foo' 'Foo Bar' 'foo.bar at foobar.org'
/home/foo/.cdist/type/__foo
