CocoaPods generate command

NOTE: This doc is mainly inspired by the Rails Application Templates documentation.

1. Usage

When using CocoaPods to generate a new Xcode project you can either use our default template or provide one yourself. Templates can be specified with a path or an URL.

$ pod generate Sample http://example.com/my_cocoapods_template.rb

2. Template API

Example:

# my_cocoapods_template.rb
add_asset("Default.png")
git :init
git add: '.'
git commit: %Q{ -m 'Initial commit' }

Or see the full list of features.
