README
ninit
A non-interactive utility to initialize a nimble package. Provides the same functionality as nimble init, but is fully non-interactive and can be used in automation tasks. The generated packages should be (near-)identical to those generated by nimble itself.
The tool does not have a runtime dependency on nimble, so it can initialize packages without nimble being available. However, because it generates nimble packages, the generated packages themselves do require nimble in order to be built or tested.
CLI
Usage:
main [optional-params]
Options:
-h, --help print this cligen-erated help
--help-syntax advanced: prepend,plurals,..
