Quickstart

Install the SEAMM Cookiecutter if you haven’t installed it yet (this requires Cookiecutter 1.4.0 or higher):

pip install -U seamm-cookiecutter

Generate a Python package project:

seamm-cookiecutter

And answer the prompts about your plug-in, etc. Then change to the new directory:

cd <plug-in name>

Then create repository in GitHub with exactly the same name, just giving the LICENSE type. Note that GitHub has changed the default branch to main, which is what the SEAMM cookiecutter also uses. Now you need to merge the two:

bash-3.2$ git remote add origin
git@github.com:<organization>/<plug-in name> .git
bash-3.2$ git pull --allow-unrelated-histories origin master

Not committing merge; use 'git commit' to complete the merge.

Depending on what happens here, you may have a conflict in LICENSE. If so, edit the file and fix the problem by keeping the appropriate lines.

Once that is done, push to GitHub:

bash-3.2$ git push --set-upstream origin main

Deploy to PyPi. Once the code is in reasonable shape and working, you can deploy to PyPi so that users can pip install it. You need an account at PyPi.
