CLI Project Template Generator

Overview

The CLI Project Template Generator is a command-line tool designed to allow users to generate project templates. The tool can inspect a folder containing templates for different types of projects, allow the user to choose a template, and then duplicate the selected template folder into a new directory. The tool also makes it easy to add new templates in the future via extensibility and supports where the templates are stored in the future, such as in a remote repository.

Features

• The ability to select a template from the list.
• The tool duplicates the selected template folder into a new directory with a unique name. -The tool allows the user to specify the destination directory where the new project should be created.
• The tool has error handling to catch any issues that may arise during the template duplication process.
• The tool is extensible to support additional templates in the future.
• The tool is extensible to support where the templates are stored in the future. For example, the templates could be stored in a remote repository.
