VERTICAL APP-MERGING

Instructions for extending idem-windows into another POP project:

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir idem_{windows_project_name}
cd idem_{windows_project_name}

Use pop-seed to generate the structure of a project that extends corn, idem, and states:

pop-seed -t v pop_{specific_windows_system} -d corn exec states

• “-t v” specifies that this is a vertically app-merged project

• “-d grains exec states” says that we want to implement the dynamic names of “corn”, “exec”, and “states”

Add “idem-windows” to the requirements.txt:

echo "idem-windows" >> requirements.txt

And that’s it! Go to town making your own unique grains, execution modules, and state modules. Your new project automatically has access to everything in idem_windows through the hub. Follow the conventions you see in idem_windows.
