As of now, if someone needs to add/remove a file/folder based on user inputs, he/she will have to write scripts for that. To resolve that, we can templatize folder structure based on user inputs defined boilerplato.yml file.

An example:

- files:
  - "src/store": "{{ isReduxIncluded }}"
  - "src/history.js": "{{ isRouterIncluded }}"

the condition will be a handlebars formatted string and whose output will be a truthy value or falsy values and if it is truthy, the file/folder will be processed by the generators otherwise, it will be ignored.

Can't escape curly braces:

 "dependencies": {{{#if isAntdIncluded}}
    "antd": "^3.26.15",
    {{/if}}
  }

It will parse the boilerplato.yml file and lists down the variables names and so that anyone can easily debug the possible outputs based on variable values and it also loads the supported helper functions.

It's happening only for local templates.
The /node_modules folder is ignored in .gitignore file, but still we needed to ignore this folder in .boilerplatoignore file otherwise the app is generating the code very slowly.

Steps to replicate:
1. ignore /node_modules in .gitignore file and create an empty .boilerplatoignore file
2. Now generate the app
3. The app will be slow

Workaround
1. Add /node_modules in .boilerplatoignore file as well and the problem will be gone.

We could specify a branch name in template as follows:

boilerplato my-app --template owner/repo#branch

As of now, The boilerplato CLI does text substitution, but in some cases, the template developer needs to create some files based on user inputs. In that case, we can add a special directory scripts and add a scripts key in the boilerplato.yml file and inside that dir, the template developer can write any kind of scripts, and the CLI will run those scripts besides the template dir and the app dir.
