Question: obtain the relative path boilerplate working dir

Open xNok opened this issue 11 months ago • 3 comments

Assuming that you run boilerplate at the root of a repo and want to start building a relative path to the root. How would you go about obtaining those paths?

Here is an example structure

. .boilerplate
| ` testfile.txt
+ subfolder
  ` + subsubfolder
     ` testfile.txt

Then then then I run

boilerplate --template-url ./.boilerplates/test --output-folder ./subfolder/subsubfolder

I would want testfile.txt to contain ./subfolder/subsubfolder

I tried some hacks using shell, but interpolation does seem to occur in that way

{{ relPath outputFolder (shell echo "$PWD") }}

Maybe We could consider providing this out of the box in a variable.

{{ relPath outputFolder cmdPwd }}
