boilerplate should support some way of specifying files in the template-folder to ignore while generating. Some of the ways ignores could be specified include:

My mind went to a .boilerplateignore file that has the same syntax as .gitignore, but I dislike having more than one file beyond boilerplate.yml, so the first option you suggested looks good.

This is implemented now with the skip_files config.
