cargo-generate VS wasm-pack-template

cargo-generate: Quickly create Rust projects by using existing Git repositories as templates.

This seems to have a lot of overlap with cargo generate. I'm curious if there are differences you're exploring in philosophy/UX/features/implementation/whatever?

cargo-generate to generate projects according to a template (see cargo-generate)

That must be the connector/payment processor integration template. That's not serde specific, it's cargo-generate.

Tools like yeoman, degit, and cargo generate kept me happy for years. They add basic templating capabilities to the standard git clone but they stop there. You’ll be hard pressed to find tools that go beyond setting up a directory structure.

We would like to simply the next step and use cargo-generate tool to create our Arduino project from a template. Somehow (please, do not ask me why) it requires Perl to compile, so we have to do:

How does backpack compare to [cargo generate](https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate)? I've been using that one until now, but I haven't used its more advanced features.

Currently, it has two built-in ones for `cargo new` and `cargo init` (--bin and --lib) and there are third-party tools like `cargo generate` which provide for more, but they haven't accepted anything into the main distribution yet.

Ah, it looks like it requires for tests to be prepended with #[wasm_bindgen_test]; not sure if this will help you, then :-//

The first tutorial step focuses on the setup. It's short and is the most "copy-pastey" of all. The reason for that is that it leverages cargo-generate, a Cargo plugin that allows creating a new project by using an existing Git repository as a template. In our case, the template is a Rust project ready to compile to Wasm. The project's structure is:
