shadow-cli 0.3.0

Features

• Incorporates a convention over configuration mentality.

• Use the default *.tpl extension to find and render templates, or specify your own.

• Use the template extension on a directory to render all files under it.

• Specify the path(s) or let it default to searching for templates in the current working directory.

• Use template variables in filenames to render scalar filename outputs.

• Use hash/dict or list/array types in filenames to render multiple files.

• Default configuration expects a file named shadowconf with any of the following extensions: .json, .hcl, .env, .yml, .ini.

• If no configuration file is specified, it will load and use the shell environment to render variables.

• All defaults can be overriden.
