Ability to customize `fpm new` template

[JPeroutek]

Description

I'd like the ability to customize the template used by the fpm new command for generating projects.

Background: I'm developing my fortran applications using Docker on Windows, using DevContainers. I'd like the ability to generate the dockerfiles and devcontainer.json files automatically.

I wonder if having a namelist point to a custom directory would do the trick.

Is there a specific reason why this needs to be part of fpm? Couldn't you just put your customizations in a script?

For instance fpm_new_custom.sh (generated by ChatGPT):

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Forward arguments to `fpm new`
fpm new "$@"

# Extract project name from arguments
PROJECT_NAME="$1"

# Ensure project directory exists
if [ -d "$PROJECT_NAME" ]; then
    cd "$PROJECT_NAME" || exit 1

    # Create Dockerfile
    cat > Dockerfile <<EOF
FROM gcc:latest

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y gfortran && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

WORKDIR /workspace
COPY . .
RUN fpm build
CMD ["./build/${PROJECT_NAME}"]
EOF

    # Create .devcontainer directory and devcontainer.json
    mkdir -p .devcontainer
    cat > .devcontainer/devcontainer.json <<EOF
{
    "name": "$PROJECT_NAME",
    "build": {
        "dockerfile": "../Dockerfile"
    },
    "settings": {},
    "extensions": ["ms-vscode.cpptools", "ms-vscode.cmake-tools"],
    "postCreateCommand": "fpm build"
}
EOF

    echo "Added Dockerfile and devcontainer.json to $PROJECT_NAME"
else
    echo "Error: Directory $PROJECT_NAME not found. fpm new might have failed."
    exit 1
