Cookiecutter Snekpack

A cookiecutter for making new Python repositories.

This template is different from @audreyfeldroy's cookiecutter-pypackage because it uses the source layout and has lots of code quality assurance checks built in. If you're looking for something similar but not quite like this, try her package or see her list of alternatives.

@cthoyt's written several blog posts outlining all of the ideas that made it into this template:

• Blog: Flake8
• Blog: Packaging
• Blog: CLIs
• Blog: CLIs and Flask

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Install cookiecutter with:

   $ pip install cookiecutter

2. Run cookiecutter with:

   $ cookiecutter https://github.com/jvfe/cookiecutter-snekpack -c jvfe-changes

3. Enter the requested information, then win! Remember, package names should only have letters, numbers, and underscores.

4. If you're working under version control, copy the repository into your folder tracked under git, commit the files, and push to your remote.
