Generate text

Generate text from a template using the jiren command. This command can read a template from stdin or files.

hello, world

An example of reading a template from a file:

Command:

cat <<EOF >template.j2
hello, {{ name }}
EOF

jiren template.j2 --var.name=world

In this example, the template contains a variable called name. You can set values for variables in a template using program arguments passed to the jiren command. Note that the program arguments must be prefixed with --var..
