tmplwizard

Generates an interactive wizard from prompts in a text/template template file

tmplwizard generates a cli wizard based on prompt functions in a template to allow the user to dynamically provide values.

Prompt Functions:
PromptString prompts the user for a string value which can be stored in a variable for later use in the template.
PromptBool allows for conditional rendering of template sections.

Background

I created this project as a way to quickly scaffold out text files such as READMEs. There are probably other uses that I'm not thinking of.
