1. Create Template:

1.1. Base Template:

The Base Template contains necessary files for a screen using the Clean Architecture pattern.

Open Terminal, navigate to the folder you want to save the files and run:

$ igen template base <Scene_Name> [--window]

--window: use UIWindow instead of UINavigationController in the Navigator.

The first time you use the template command, you need to enter your project information:

Enter project name: Your Project
Enter developer name: Your Name
Enter company name: Your Company

Later, if you want to update the information you can run:

$ igen config project

Example:

$ igen template base Login

Output:

You can use wildcard as well:

Update all Swift files:

$ igen header *.swift

Update all Swift files in the Domain folder and its child folders (recursive) :
