I released the directory_template gem, which allows you to generate directory structures from a template, optionally processing paths (variables in the path) and contents (e.g., render ERB templates). You can write and use your own processors too (for both, path and content manipulation). This is useful if you want to template e.g. Projects, or want to build something akin to rails’ generators. The project is - of course - found on github, and the documentation is available online.
