Research direction

Start by inspecting the CakePHP-Skeleton's Console/ scripts, composer.json, composer.json.template, and the existing *.template replacement tests. Move the composer-only scripts and related tests into this package, then verify that generated projects no longer retain the directives or script copies while the post-create-project-cmd behavior still works.

Description

enhancement help wanted

Currently our CakePHP project skeleton bundles some composer post-create-project-cmd scripts directly in its own repo. This is inconvenient, because these files end up being copied unnecessarily into every Cake 3 project we spawn from the skeleton.

A good solution is to move those composer-only scripts into their own repo, which can be included via composer. This way the CakePHP-Skeleton's composer.json can require loadsys/composer-plugins, (and include the post-create-project-cmd entry) but the generated projects (which use composer.json.template) do not have to retain a copy of either directive.

This will also help clean up the unit tests for the *.template replacement by moving them into this repo. This will close loadsys/CakePHP-Skeleton#72 and better fix loadsys/CakePHP-Skeleton#126
