Conquer

A simple yet powerful template rendering tool that follows the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well.

Overview

Conquer is a command-line utility that generates text files by combining structured data (YAML/CSV) with templates.

Features

• Supports YAML and CSV input files
• Uses Comb templates (.comb extension)
• Direct file updates with -u flag
• Directory tree processing
• Simple command-line interface

Installation

bbin install io.github.200ok-ch/conquer

Usage

Basic syntax:

conquer [-t=<template>] [-u] [-p=path]

Options:

• -h, --help: Show help screen
• -p, --path=<path>: Path to operate on (file or directory) [default: .]
• -t, --template=<template>: Override the template file
• -u, --update: Create or update files
• -v, --version: Show version

Basic Example

conquer -t template.html.comb greeting.yml

Troubleshooting

This error

java.lang.String cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn

Is most likely an error in the template. It happens when you try to use a function it cannot resolve.

Use Cases

• Static website generation
• Configuration file management
• Documentation generation
• Report creation
• Data transformation
• Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform/OpenTofu configurations)
