# Forge - A set of tools to automate PowerShell code generation

The `Forge` module contains a set of tools to automate PowerShell code generation. It 

does nothing by itself. Actual generators are published in separate modules named `Forge.*`. 

Take a look at [`Forge.Module`](https://github.com/dbroeglin/Forge.Module) a PowerShell 

module generator.

`Forge` provides support _cmdlets_ that aim at making writing a generator very easy. The most

useful _cmdlets_ are:

* `New-ForgeDirectory`: generates a new directory in the destination path.

* `Copy-ForgeFile`: copies a file from the template directory to the destination path. If the 

file is an EPS template, the template will be expanded.

* `Get-ValueOrGitOrDefault`: will return the value passed as an argument or, if the value 

is absent, it looks in `git config key_name` and return the value. If git is absent or no 

config exists, it returns the default value passed as an argument.
