Brief introduction

cookiecutter¹ is a command-line tool implemented in Python, you can build the project through project templates.

Its features include:

• Cross-platform support
• Support python2.7 + / python3.4 + / pypy (but you do not know python can also be used)
• Project templates can be turned into any language project, or support any markup format

• Simple command line usage

  For example, a github repo can be used directly as project templates:

  $ cookiecutter gh:audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage

  You can also use a local project template

  $ cookiecutter cookiecutter-pypackage/

  Or run python code

  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('https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git')
  

• Directory names and file names can use a template placeholder

  {{cookiecutter.repo_name}}/{{cookiecutter.repo_name}}/{{cookiecutter.repo_name}}.py

• It supports unlimited number of layers of nested directories

• Use templates to support jinja2

      "full_name": "Audrey Roy",
