Creating templates

This project only supports templates for hygen. So what we need is to generate a new project with the hygen templates section already generated.

mkdir new-templates
cd new-templates
git init -b main
mkdir generator _shared
# Visit the hygen docs for generating some basic hygen generator
# http://www.hygen.io/docs/quick-start
git add .
git commit -m "New template generators"
git remote add origin <REMOTE_URL>
git push origin main

This templates project repo is a good starting point
