Touch Template

touch, with a template

Available on cargo, with cargo install touchtemplate (Link to crates.io). Then you can use the tt command.

This provides the tt binary, which looks in ~/Templates (or whatever you have $XDG_TEMPLATE_DIR set to), and will allow you to touch (create) files, by copying them and renaming them to whatever you wish.

This utility is inspired by KDE's usage of the templates directory when using the right click menu to "Create New" in a directory.

Usage

touchtemplate ('tt') is a way to create a file using a template 
(if the template is in your templates directory, default ~/Templates).

Usage: tt <TEMPLATE> <FILENAME>

Arguments:
  <TEMPLATE>
          The filename of the template.

  <FILENAME>
          The name of the file to create.

Options:
  -h, --help
          Print help (see a summary with '-h')

  -V, --version
          Print version
