[feature request] uv init command compatible with cookiecutter/copier templates

[baggiponte]

I have been using the package management uv features, albeit in preview. Amazing product, responsiveness and pace of development 🚀

PDM has a great feature: the pdm init command can take --cookiecutter or --copier optional argument to initialise a project (including scaffold) using a template ref. I don't know how to reproduce that in uv - I don't know what template engine there is in Rust, maybe Armin's minijinja? Would be a slick feature.

Agreed. Scaffolding from community templates would be a nice (but not critical) next step. No comment on cookiecutter vs. copier vs. other.
