Forge - A set of tools to automate PowerShell code generation

The Forge module contains a set of tools to automate PowerShell code generation. It does nothing by itself. Actual generators are published in separate modules named Forge.*. Take a look at Forge.Module a PowerShell module generator.

Forge provides support cmdlets that aim at making writing a generator very easy. The most useful cmdlets are:

• New-ForgeDirectory: generates a new directory in the destination path.
• Copy-ForgeFile: copies a file from the template directory to the destination path. If the file is an EPS template, the template will be expanded.
• Get-ValueOrGitOrDefault: will return the value passed as an argument or, if the value is absent, it looks in git config key_name and return the value. If git is absent or no config exists, it returns the default value passed as an argument.
