Sire is a command-line tool that simplifies creating and maintaining Jinja style templates. The primary goal is to save users time when creating new source code projects by re-using consistent patterns (ie: folder structures, build tools, libraries and frameworks), and making it easy to keep those projects up to date when changes are made to the templates. The tool is intended to to be language-agnostic allowing projects written in any programming language or toolchain.
