# BASH Templater

Very simple templating system that replace `{{VAR}}` by `$VAR` environment value.

Supports default values by writting `{{VAR=value}}` in the template.

## Usage

```sh
# Passing arguments directly
VAR=value templater.sh template

# Evaluate /tmp/foo and pass those variables to the template
# Useful for defining variables in a file
# Parentheses are important for not polluting the current shell
(set -a && . /tmp/foo && templater.sh template)

# A variant that does NOT pass current env variables to the templater
sh -c "set -a && . /tmp/foo && templater.sh template"
```
