Just an empty file or plug in something in there? When running scaffold it creates it for you and then you can fill in what you want.

Also, if you create the file before scaffolding it won’t recreate it 🙂

great question! I thought about this when working on the scaffolding feature but I didn't implement it. it's actually simple since scaffold takes a folder as parameter and then copies it. So I imagine something like
Copy code
ploomber scaffold --from-template <https://github.com/user/my-template>s

03/17/2022, 4:09 PMso you can just type ploomber scaffold and get the same thing; I guess one could create a bash alias to do that as well, but would be cleaner I think in teh code itself
