Templatree

Templatree is a lightweight Python CLI tool that scaffolds directory structures from simple text templates, flat paths or file lists. It also supports automatic virtual environment creation.

Features

• Generate project folders from:
  • A tree-style structure (e.g., ├── main.py)
  • A flat path list (project/static/index.html)
• Load structure from an external .txt file using --from-file
• Create a virtual environment inside the project with -venv
• Clean and simple CLI interface

templatree create exampleproject
