The .NET Template Engine, the library that powers the 'dotnet new' command for creating projects and files from templates. This repository has been consolidated into the dotnet/sdk repository, where further development and issue tracking now occur.
Use cases

When to choose
- you are building custom templates for the dotnet new CLI
