On: Boilerplate Boilerplate

[jamesbritt]

I found myself either re-typing or cutting and pasting so much common code for numerous projects in different languages that I took what started as a template generator for Monkeybars and spun it off to a standalone boilerplate generator.

I called it Rhesus since it was to make pieces for Monkeybars. :)

Yes, it includes a template for .gitignore.

It also allows for importing boilerplate templates from git repos.

It's one of those projects that evolves as I find I need this or that feature or behavior.

Sweet idea. You should try to make your usage documentation better (more concise and put it on the Github page) cos I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use it as well as the rationale behind each step.

I started writng some docs since the api and such has settled down. I have plans for a screencast too.
