make a single file option

[bit101]

idea: sometimes you just want to add a single file to a project. maybe a common make file, package.json, .gitignore, license file, etc.

in addition to templates, there could be a files directory. this would just contain a bunch of files.

tinpig -s or tinpig --single would display a list of these files - just the file names. choose one and it's copied to the current directory. no token replacement, no path selection, no manifests.

tinpig -s filename or tinpig --single filename should work as well, with or without the extension. if it finds the file it copies it directly. if not, it opens the list. example:

tinpig -s .gitignore

and you're done.

would need to prioritize arguments, what if someone types tinpig -p foo -t HTML -s .gitignore ?
which one wins?
do both?
display error?
