bootstrap

The bootstrap script is used to create new projects from a set of predefined templates. It's the perfect starting point for a new service, library, or other component, as it ensures that all the necessary boilerplate and configuration are set up correctly from the beginning.

This tool uses the Jinja2 templating engine, processing a directory tree of template files. You can pass in a context of key-value pairs as arguments, allowing for flexible and dynamic project generation.

The entire process runs within the tool-env container, guaranteeing a consistent and reliable bootstrapping experience regardless of your local machine's setup.
