ranger is tool for templating entire folder structures using the comprehensive handlebars syntax.

Examples:

• ranger generate local -f ./templates/example -o ./test --force
  • ranger generate local: Generate via a local template.
  • -f ./templates/example: The location of the template to use.
  • -o ./test: The output folder.
  • --force: Force overwriting the folder if it exists (delete & recreate).
• ranger generate git --repo "https://github.com/replicadse/ranger" --branch master --folder ./templates/example -o ./test
  • ranger generate git: Generate via git repo (will temporarily check out to a temp dir that is cleared after use).
  • --repo "https://github.com/replicadse/ranger": The repository containing the template.
  • --branch: The branch to check out.
  • --folder: The folder to use within the repository.
  • -o ./test: The output folder.

If the template folder (local, git, ...) contains a .ranger.yaml file, further information might be specified in there. This includes variable default values, helper functions etc.
