@MrPowers I know many non-Scala developers who use Giter8 to generate templates for all kinds of projects. A python team shouldn’t have to install sbt to use Giter8 templates (as long as they’re not developing other templates)

The new command is sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8.

You can also run brew edit giter8, delete the disable! because: "fetches unversioned dependencies at runtime" line and rerun brew install giter8, as described here.

@xuwei-k - do you want to get this back in homebrew or should we just encourage users to use the sbt new command?
