giter8 is “a command line tool to generate files and directories from templates published on github.” Its written in Scala on top of the Simple Build Tool, but you don’t need to be a Scala hacker to use it.
But you do have to be 1337.
“Scala Enhanced Strings reinforces Scala’s string constants with ‘variable interpolation’ as known from other modern languages like Ruby, Perl, PHP or Shell scripting languages. It is implemented as a Scala compiler plugin and configurable on a scope-by-scope basis.”
