A Python CLI template boilerplate generator for quickly scaffolding Python projects.

## Features

- **Project Scaffolding**: Generate Python projects with a single command
- **Multiple Project Types**: Support for library, CLI tool, and script projects
- **FastAPI Templates**: Pre-configured FastAPI project templates with optional database support
- **Opinionated Structure**: Best practices baked into every template
- **Interactive Preview**: `--dry-run` option to preview before creating files

## Installation

## Usage

### Creating a New Project

```bash
# Create a library project
gentem new mylib --type library

# Create a CLI tool project
gentem new mycli --type cli

# Create a simple script project
gentem new myscript --type script

# With author and description
gentem new mylib --type library --author "John Doe" --description "My library"

# With license
gentem new mylib --type library --license mit
gentem new mylib --type library --license apache
gentem new mylib --type library --license gpl

# Preview without creating files
gentem new mylib --type library --dry-run
```

### Creating a FastAPI Project

```bash
# Create a basic FastAPI project
gentem fastapi myapi

# Create with async mode and lifespan
gentem fastapi myapi --async

# Create with database support (asyncpg)
