Describe the issue

Per #159, envtpl is no longer recommended
However, j2cli hasn't received any new releases since Jul2019 (and doesn't work for me when I just tried it)
But development has continued on the project that initially inspired j2cli, jinja2-cli, which would be a drop-in replacement, if supported by yadm

Re envtpl, https://github.com/envtpl/envtpl/commits/master shows a lot of recent activity, with four releases in the last few months.

Also, https://github.com/metwork-framework/envtpl says it's a "maintained fork" and has 78 commits since being forked, the last being in April, 2022.

Oh! I didn't even check. Let me try that out. Would be awesome if envtpl does work

KyleKing commented 1 year ago

Yeah, envtpl works! I thought I had seen the documentation say that envtpl was no longer maintained, but it is correct on the site, so glad to be wrong

Anyway, closing because envtpl works, so supporting jinja2-cli isn't necessary
