Starter project for htmpl, this is based off of copier but includes a UI to manage the installed options. The available options include:
- Auth (login and registration pages)
- Themes
- Database services
The components you copy in are yours to change, we have based the desgin of this component library on shadcn where you 'install' the components you want and they are copied into your project. That way if you want to change anything, you simply modify the code to your liking.
If and when the base template changes you will be able to upgrade to the new one. Copier handles applying changes to the templated files and gives options to overwrite or produce a diff and allow you to apply the changes via git conflict resolution.
