Support the starter-kit via the dotnet new command ?

With the release of VS2017 comes a new update for .Net Core. This update will bring a better experience for the dotnet new command to scaffold new projects, including support for custom templates.

Do you think that would be useful to have a template for the starter-kit?

• This post explains how to create a custom template
• The code for the template engine used by dotnet new is available here.

This is interesting, this would be a first step to bring the SK into a full stack template.

From what I have read in the custom template details, the difficulty here would be to find a way to maintain the template up-to-date with this repo (or the generator once we move to it), as it use a custom template engine.

I think the proper way to start this is to init a new repo with the dotnet template, and then create a "build" to inject the starter kit in the template, so we can automatize updates and keep it always in sync.

If you (or anyone) is willing to try it, then go ahead and once we have a working POC it can be migrated on the organization repositories :)
