Consider how to work with existing templating tools #72

Open patcon opened 6 years ago

This is the one I've always leaned on: https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I wonder whether build-a-space could simply be pointed to one of many cookiecutter template repos, and apply the results via PR...

From CLI, cookiecutter's config wizard is intended to be kickstarted like:

$ cookiecutter gh:infOpen/cookiecutter-ansible-role

That's interesting. I normally use Yeoman for project templating, but I don't know if there's precedent for using an existing repo and then applying changes directly.

I'm not sure how easy it would be to implement that, either! Good idea, though; I'll come back to this if I end up making major changes to Build a Space.
