[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/t3f0wtt99u0p20p4/branch/master?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ashleygwilliams/cargo-generate/branch/master)

`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. 

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

[this template]: https://github.com/ashleygwilliams/wasm-pack-template

## Installation

```
cargo install cargo-generate
```

## Usage

Standard usage is to pass a `--git` flag to `cargo generate`. This will prompt you to enter the name of your project.

```
cargo generate --git https://github.com/githubusername/mytemplate.git
```

You can also pass the name of your project to the tool using the `--name` flag:

```
cargo generate --git https://github.com/githubusername/mytemplate.git --name myproject
```

## Templates

Templates are git repositories whose files contain placeholders. The current
supported placeholders are:

- `{{authors}}`: this will be filled in by a function borrowed from Cargo's source code, that determines your information from Cargo's configuration.
- `{{project-name}}`: this is supplied by either passing the `--name` flag to the command or working with the interactive CLI to supply a name.
- `{{crate_name}}`: the snake_case_version of `project-name`

Here's an [example](https://github.com/ashleygwilliams/wasm-pack-template).
If you have a great template that you'd like to feature here, please [file an issue]!
