Sharing templates with Scaffolder!

Sharing templates with Scaffolder is now possible via Github!
So how does it work? you simply upload your templates to a Github repository under a scaffolder folder and you are good to go!
To actually generate one of those templates, you will need to run the following command scaff i --from-github and you will be prompted to enter a repository from which you want to consume templates.
You can see an example repo here.

Currently, this feature is only supported in the interactive CLI mode, but support for the vs-code extension and the normal cli flow will drop in soon.

For more information about scaffolder and this feature check out scaffolder repository.
And don't be shy, feel free to star the scaffolder repository ;)

Got any feature requests or improvements in mind? feel free to open an issue :)
