new command and templateResolvers

sbt 0.13.13 adds new command, which helps create a new build definition. The new command is extensible via a mechanism called the template resolver, which evaluates the arguments passed to the command to find and run a template. As a reference implementation Giter8 is provided as follows:

sbt new eed3si9n/hello.g8

This will run eed3si9n/hello.g8 using Giter8.
