BASH Templater

Very simple templating system that replaces {{VAR}} in template files with the value of the environment variable $VAR environment value Supports default values by writting {{VAR=value}} in templates

Installation

To install templater on linux or mac type:

$ PREFIX=/usr/local/bin make install

Usage

$ VAR=value templater <template>

Read variables from file:

$ templater <template> -f variables.txt

If you have a file named .env in your calling directory, templater will automatically load the variables specified in you .env file into its environment

Example:

To stop templater from printing warning messages

$ templater <template> -s`

Templater will also read files from a directory

$ templater <template-dir>

Templater will by default render the templates witha default delimiter of \n---\n but you can set this to be anything you like by using the -d option for example

$ templater <template-dir> -d "####DELIMITER####"

will separate template file with the string ####DELIMITER####
