Repository Template

This repository contains a cookiecutter template for creating an open-source project.

To use it, first install the cookiecutter command:

pip install cookiecutter

Example usage (will open dialogue and create a new directory in the current directory, based on passed project name):

You can first clone the new repository for a new project and pass the extra -f argument to overwrite contents of the cloned repository by cookiecutter.
