I am working on a Julia template that needs static files for containerization and deployment.  
./templates/ looks as follows:

- src
- test
- docs
- deployment  
.gitlab-ci.yml  
LICENSE  
script.jl  
…

The problem I found is that ./deployment/\* and ./script.jl are not considered when calling create\_template().  
By considered I mean being copied into the new package’s directory.

Is there some already implemented functionality to achive this, or do I need to implement sth from scratch?

I would be thankful for any pointers.
