For Users

Quick Start

The recommended way to use Cookiecutter as a command line utility is to run it with pipx, which can be installed with pip install pipx, but if you plan to use Cookiecutter programmatically, please run pip install cookiecutter.

Use a GitHub template

# You'll be prompted to enter values.
# Then it'll create your Python package in the current working directory,
# based on those values.
# For the sake of brevity, repos on GitHub can just use the 'gh' prefix
$ pipx run cookiecutter gh:audreyfeldroy/cookiecutter-pypackage

Use a local template

$ pipx run cookiecutter cookiecutter-pypackage/

Use it from Python

from cookiecutter.main import cookiecutter

# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage/ template
cookiecutter('cookiecutter-pypackage/')

# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage.git repo template
cookiecutter('gh:audreyfeldroy//cookiecutter-pypackage.git')
