Might be better to turn this into a cookiecutter template:

- rsstack 6y agoLet's not mix these two ecosystems.
- Keats 6y agoI've made https://github.com/Keats/kickstart https://github.com/Keats/kickstart which is roughly the same thing (and improved some bits) without the need to install a python package.
- etxm 6y agoThis looks nice. We switched from cookiecutter to yeoman and it’s been nice, but a bit annoying to need node, a custom node package, and a pile of node modules to get the same effect. I’ll give this a try today. I think my team would love having a single binary to generate our boilerplate.
- Waterluvian 6y agoWhat is the target audience for things like this? Are there people who start projects constantly? Or is this more just a catalog?
- etxm 6y agoPretty edge case use case over here, but we used cookiecutter (and now yeoman) internally for developing user-configured extensions to our app. The extensions all have a lot of boilerplate so we use it as a replacement for a PHONY make target for niceties for the extension author like question prompts, enumerated lists for selecting, etc.
