## About
Substitute Variables (subvars) is a small utility which provides a way to render any [Go templates](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/)
from command line recognizing the object being passed in and drawing attributes from the object to create wanted text.
It is very useful for template driven configuration files.

It uses [sprig v3](https://github.com/Masterminds/sprig) for [template functions](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig)
which provides additional functions apart from standard library.

`subvars` reads input from `stdin` and renders output to `stdout`.
You can pipe the input or `<` direct it to subvars.

Options to [render all files](https://subvars.lmno.pk/03-usage-examples/) in a given folder
and output to another folder preserving folder and file structure is available via `dir` subcommand.
