t-squared: A template for creating other Copier templates

This repository contains a Copier template for setting up a new repository for another Copier template. We made t-squared (a template for templates) because we manage and develop several templates in Seedcase, and this template is designed to make it easier to create, develop, and maintain those templates.

Check out our website for more information, such as the features it provides and a guide to using the template. For a list of changes, see our changelog page.
