LONG DESCRIPTION PoshProject is a simple PowerShell scaffolding module inspired from `Plaster`. It keeps a small predefined layout for the xml template with two major sections. One is `Configuration` which holds the `Project Name`, `Directories` to be created and `Type` of project. Second is `Metadata` which holds the basic and mandatory fields to create manifest file. It allows you to create a template, get the template as object, test it and invoke it to create your desired project folder and file structure.
