Goplater is a Go commandline programm that helps you template your files.

Download the latest binary from the Release page. Make it executable with chmod +x goplater and run it for the first time.

Use the goplater template command to template files:

./goplater template TEMPLATE.md -o README.md

This will create a new file called README.md in your current working directory.

Goplater uses Go's builtin templating library therefor the syntax should be consistent with other projects.

Example:

File Content: $​{​{​{ read "./myfile.txt" }​}​}

As you saw in the example above read is used for reading and output file contents. But there are more as you will see in the following…
