crispr is a CLI tool allowing to scaffold a project from a template with a .crispr.json configuration file.
The template uses tokens that need to be replaced per scaffolded project (e.g. {{REPO_NAME}}), which are set in the configuration file as either user replaceable or with predetermined values.
crispr reads the configuration, asks the user for any needed values and makes the replacements as needed, showing a diff in the process.

}crisprtakes some inspiration and ideas from Ruplacer but does not intend to replace (pun may be intended) Ruplacer as the use case and goal are different.
