Create new file with template from terminal

  • 772

I saved a template in ~/Templates that I use very regularly. How do I create new file with same template from terminal?

Now, I'm using with cp

cp ~/Templates/cf_temp ~/Desktop/new

I want to create multiple files at once with template.

Is there any better way?

done
