# Cline Rules

**The fastest way to standardize Roo/Cline behavior across all your projects.**

This repository provides a simple, powerful git alias that lets you instantly copy Cline/Roo configuration templates to any repository with a single command.

## Key Benefits

- **One Command Setup**: Configure all your Roo modes with a single `git clinerules` command
- **Consistent Experience**: Ensure the same Roo behavior across all your projects
- **Time-Saving**: No need to manually create configuration files for each new project
- **Easily Customizable**: Modify template files once, deploy everywhere

## Quick Setup

1. **Important!** Edit the `clinerules.bat` file to update the repository path:
   ```batch
   set REPO_PATH=C:\path\to\your\cline-rules\templates
   ```
   Replace `C:\path\to\your\cline-rules\templates` with the full path to the templates directory in your cloned repository.

2. Set up the git alias:
   ```
   git config --global alias.clinerules "!C:/path/to/cline-rules/clinerules.bat"
   ```
   
   Replace `C:/path/to/cline-rules` with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

3. Now you can use the git alias in any repository:
   ```
   cd path\to\your\project
   git clinerules
   ```
   
   That's it! All template files are instantly copied to your current repository.

## Everyday Usage

When starting a new project:
```bash
mkdir my-new-project
cd my-new-project
git init
git clinerules  # Instantly adds all Roo configuration files
```

When working with an existing project:
```bash
cd existing-project
git clinerules  # Instantly adds all Roo configuration files
```

## How It Works

The `clinerules.bat` script:
- Copies all the template files from the `templates` directory to your current directory
- Works from any location through the git alias
- Takes care of both visible and hidden files

## Understanding the Command

The git alias is configured with:

```
git config --global alias.clinerules "!C:/path/to/cline-rules/clinerules.bat"
```

This command:
1. Creates a global git alias named `clinerules`
2. Runs the batch script that copies all template files to your current directory

The batch file itself uses a hardcoded path to your templates directory:
```batch
set REPO_PATH=C:\path\to\your\cline-rules\templates
```
This path must be updated after cloning the repository to match your specific file system structure.

## Available Templates

The standard templates include:

- `.clinerules-code` - Rules for Code mode
- `.clinerules-ask` - Rules for Ask mode
- `.clinerules-architect` - Rules for Architect mode
- `.clinerules-debug` - Rules for Debug mode
- `.roomodes` - Configuration for custom mode definitions
- `projectBrief.md` - Project brief template

## Customization

You can customize any of the template files to fit your workflow and project needs. Changes made to the templates will be applied to any future projects where you run `git clinerules`.

## Removing the Alias

If you need to remove the git clinerules alias, use:

```
git config --global --unset alias.clinerules
```
