Separate the template repository from template content about ffizer HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes meta data (.ffizer.yaml) is stored at the root of template.
No the root of the git repo should not be the root of template, I have some repo that host several templates.
No it's not possible (yet) to say the to ffizer that the root of template is in a subfolder. IMHO, this subfolder is 1 click or cd when user want to browse. TBH It's an open option to add, but I would like to not allow too much configuration and fragmentation in the format of template. So maybe later.

I also like the original idea that by default any git repo, regular project could be used as a template. in this case ffizer act like as git clone or cp. And then the user can tweak to add .ffizer.yaml to say ignore .git folder, and after convert some file into template xxx.ffizer.hbs, and tweak more....

I like porteurbars' UI for this. By default porteurbars repo target will use repo/template as the content, but if you have multiple templates in a repo, you can use porteurbars -b other repo target to use repo/other/template.

What do I do if I want a README.md file for the template repository and the template itself?

from ffizer.

Currently If you want to have a README.md in the template and in the project:

+- README.md.ffizer.hbs (or README.md.ffizer.raw)
+- README.md
+- .ffizer.yaml

And into .ffizer.yaml

ignores:
  - README.md

I agree in some case allowing to have the template separated could be simpler. So I'm OK to add the option, but I'm don't know when.
