Boilerplates 0.2.0 is here, and this update changes quite a lot about how my templates work! In this video, I show you what changed in Boilerplates 0.2.0, why the app and template library are now split into separate repositories, how the new `template.json` format works, why the custom template delimiters are useful, and how the improved variable system makes generated Docker Compose stacks easier to customize. We also look at one of the most useful new features: remote generation over SSH, so you can generate template files directly on a server instead of creating them locally and copying everything over manually. And finally, I quickly explain the new Swarm module and what it means for future Boilerplates features.
