cargo, make me a project

cargo-generate is a developer tool to help you get up and running quickly with a new Rust project by leveraging a pre-existing git repository as a template.

cargo-generate uses Shopify's Liquid template language, Rhai for hook scripts and regex for placeholders.

Due to the use of Shopify's Liquid, cargo-generate special cases files with the file-ending .liquid, by simply removing the file-ending when processing the files. If you, as a template author, truly want the .liquid file-ending, you need to repeat it twice!

An Example: the file main.rs.liquid will be renamed after templating to main.rs

Here's an example of using cargo-generate with this template:
