Examples:

  • Create a new conanfile.py for a new package mypackage/1.0@myuser/stable

    $ conan new mypackage/1.0
    
  • Create also a test_package folder skeleton:

    $ conan new mypackage/1.0 -t
    
  • Create files for travis (both Linux and OSX) and appveyor Continuous Integration:

    $ conan new mypackage/1.0@myuser/stable -t -cilg -cio -ciw
    
  • Create files for gitlab (linux) Continuous integration and set upload conan server:

    $ conan new mypackage/1.0@myuser/stable -t -ciglg -ciglc -ciu https://api.bintray.com/conan/myuser/myrepo
    
  • Create files from a custom, predefined user template:

    $ conan new mypackage/1.0 --template=myconanfile.py
    

    Conan will look for templates/myconanfile.py in the Conan local cache. If an absolute path is given as argument, it will be used instead. These files can be installed and managed by conan config install command. The templates use Jinja syntax:

    class {{package_name}}Conan(ConanFile):
        name = "{{name}}"
        version = "{{version}}"
    

    Where name and version placeholders are defined from the command line, and package_name is a camel case variant of the package name.
