Project description
A command-line utility that creates projects from project templates, e.g. creating a Python package project from a Python package project template.
Documentation: http://cookiecutter.rtfd.org
Free software: BSD license
Features
Simple command line usage.
Works with any type of text file.
Directory names and filenames can be templated. For example:
{{project.repo_name}}/{{project.repo_name}}/{{project.repo_name}}.pySupports unlimited levels of directory nesting.
Simply define your template variables in a JSON file. For example:
{ "full_name": "Audrey Roy", "email": "audreyr@gmail.com", "project_name": "A Lot of Effort", "repo_name": "alotofeffort", "project_short_description": "Deploy static HTML sites to S3 with the simple 'alotofeffort' command.", "release_date": "2013-07-10", "year": "2013", "version": "0.1.1" }All templating is done with Jinja2. Cookiecutter simply renders a directory of Jinja2 templates to files, including rendering the dir names and filenames.
