Minja - a minimal templating replacement engine

Kind of like Cookiecutter or Jinja but with 70% fewer features and 90% less code! Also barely tested.

Pure Python 3, no external dependencies.

Given a dictionary of "from" -> "to" replacements, and a folder full of files:

• replaces all occurrences in the body of all files
• also within filenames
• also within folder names

Attempts to:

• leave binary files alone
• preserve the line ending of text files (Unix, DOS)
• preserve the permissions (executable bit should say set even after modification/renaming)

Don't blame me if this accidentally destroys the files in the folder you provide, but it probably won't.

Usage

./minja.py /path/to/template/folder

Q: Do you realize how terrible the name is?
A: Yeah. Naming is hard.
