Automated creation of project files, what utilities exist?

Question

Automation

Greetings!
Interested in the question, what utilities exist for automatically creating projects and templates? Not tied to IDE, OS, technology.
That is, you create a template in the style:
Project name
-Binaries
-sorts -Project
name.java or project
name.cpp -auxiliary
-bash script once
-bash script two (and if we are under Windows then bat) -documentation
-tests -readme + it's possible to do git init right away, etc. and etc. It is clear that it is possible to write a simple script for each case that will do all this, but it seems that I saw some kind of already existing solution, unfortunately I did not remember the name at all ((

It is unrealistic to cover all the many possible variations. Usually such generators are made for a specific framework, where the framework itself dictates which files to put where and how it will all work.
However, there is yeoman.io which is focused on web applications, but there are generators for ordinary projects.
