Synopsis
salt-extend --helpDescription
salt-extend is a templating tool for extending
SaltStack. If you're looking to add a module to SaltStack, then the
salt-extend utility can guide you through the process.
You can use Salt Extend to quickly create templated modules for adding new behaviours to some of the module subsystems within Salt.
Salt Extend takes a template directory and merges it into a SaltStack source code directory.
