Clone Template

Clone the KAppMaker template (or any custom template) into a new project directory. This is step 1 of kappmaker create exposed as a standalone command — useful when you only want to scaffold a project and apply your own changes (e.g. clone + refactor without touching Firebase, ASC, or stores).

Command: kappmaker clone <app-name>

kappmaker clone Remimi
kappmaker clone Remimi --template-repo git@github.com:my-org/my-template.git
kappmaker clone Remimi --target-dir ./projects/Remimi

Options

Flag	Description	Default
--template-repo <url>	Git URL of the template repository	templateRepo from CLI config
--target-dir <path>	Target directory for the clone	<AppName>-All

App Name Rules

PascalCase, starts uppercase, alphanumeric only — same rules as create.

What It Does

1. Validates the app name.
2. If no config exists at ~/.config/kappmaker/config.json, runs kappmaker config init first.
3. If the target directory already exists, prompts to delete and start fresh.
4. Runs git clone <templateRepo> <targetDir>.

Minimal Flow

Clone + refactor — without Firebase, ASC, Play Console, or Adapty:

kappmaker clone MyApp
cd MyApp-All/MobileApp
kappmaker refactor --app-id com.example.myapp --app-name MyApp

Optionally rename the template's origin to upstream so you can add your own origin:

cd ..
kappmaker git setup-upstream

See git setup-upstream for details.
