It's a very useful tool for generating files that you'd normally 
have to create by hand.

The idea for emeralD was not actually by me, but by Moogly (I 
don't know what he goes by in the forums, if he uses them.) who 
wanted something to generate files for ex. vibe.d and Diamond.

Also additionally thanks to 0xEAB for a few ideas.

emeralD is generic and not tied to D files only, but can be used 
for any type of file within any programming language.

For more information see the Github repository and for examples 
see the read me.

Thank you!

Scaffolding has now been added, along with shell command passing.

This makes it possible to use emeralD for like project shells, 
build tool combination and multiple file generation.

Could we get a complete, simple usage example? Like target 
directory structure and how to invoke the program to get to it.

Simple template example for ex. a class:

```
emerald d class myclass myclass MyClass

...

emerald [root] [template] [$1] [$2] [$3]
```

Will generate a file called myclass.d with the following content:

```
module myclass;

class MyClass
{
	public:
	this()
	{
	}
}
```

An example on scaffolding ex. an empty project with a dub.json 
would be:

```
-sc dub myproject -ex
```

Which will basically create a Hello World! example with a minimal 
dub.json

It's possible to fetch scaffolding archives remote, as well fetch 
templates online.

See the --remote / -r commands for that.

https://github.com/DiamondMVC/emeralD#--remote-root-template-url---rm-root-template-url

https://github.com/DiamondMVC/emeralD#--remote--scaffold-name-url---rm--sc-name-url

For examples on templates just see the the folders "templates" 
and "scaffold" in the repository.

The files will be created / copied to the current working 
directory.

In the next version you'll be able to specify folders that you 
work in and give them a name which can be used to invoke emeralD 
from anywhere and still work in the directories you want.

Sounds interesting. But the readme is missing a basic thing: a 
complete working example command for the impatient.

Ahh yes, of course!

I will get to that as soon as possible.
