@adrienbresson Aren't the variables stored in the Jinja2 environment?

@adrienbresson

@smitty1eGH , thanks for your answer, I wanted to edit those variables in hook scripts, but it's not possible, I ended writing an handler python script which set my values as a json to cookiecutter

Hello all
I submitted this pull request that adds a list command line option, it lists locally available templates: audreyr/cookiecutter#1096

I'm wondering if I can get some feedback on it.

@luzfcb

if cookiecutter.json is not exist on root directory, you get a error.

What @luzfcb said: If a Cookiecutter template doesn't have a cookiecutter.json file in the root of the project, then it's not a Cookiecutter template.

Hello!
I use cookiecutter to generate template projects for Julia.
One requirement for Julia packages is that the package is a git repository, and I always have to do a git init, git add, git commit to include all files generated by cookiecutter in the first commit...
Is there a means with cookiecutter to have scripted actions done besides generating the content of the directory?
Thanks!

@SylvainCorlay There's this => https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced/hooks.html

I'm sort of tackling the same concern of setting up the venv, and will want to do my first commit, here => https://github.com/smitty1eGH/cookiedough/blob/master/cookiedough.py

@SylvainCorlay

Thanks @smitty1eGH this is exactly what I was looking for!

Hi all! I’m working on my first cookiecutter template, but I’m stuck on the question of which license to choose for the template itself

projects created with the template will use AGPLv3 by default, but I’d like to allow users to choose a different license if they want to, so I’m not sure if such a restrictive license is appropriate for the template itself

I tried looking at some other cookiecutter templates for comparison, but most of them don’t seem to have any license on the template level :) any advice?

Lucas Werkmeister

@lucaswerkmeister

MIT license sounds like it could work as long as I clarify in the (template) README that created projects are not considered “substantial portions of the Software”… I’ll go with that for now

Chris Smith

@smitty1eGH

@lucaswerkmeister I should probably feel more passionate about licensing than I do.

Hi I am new to both python and cookiecutter. I have installed PIP on my Windows 10 system, and also installer cookiecutter uings the command pip install --user cookiecutter

I am now unable to run cookiecutter command, on windows10 saying command not found and unrecognizable. Requesting help here

Burhan Khalid

@burhan

You need to add the Scripts folder to your PATH

Mohammed Shahid

@MDShahidnawaz_twitter

i have added the scripts folder already, due to which PIP command started working

AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts

this is it in System variables path

can anyone help me here?

Burhan Khalid

@burhan

Did you refresh your prompt after modifying the path?

Mohammed Shahid

@MDShahidnawaz_twitter

yes, i restarted the prompt

Burhan Khalid

@burhan

did you run the command prompt as administrator?

Mohammed Shahid

@MDShahidnawaz_twitter

yes i tried that too

same result

Burhan Khalid

@burhan

it makes a difference. When you install as administrator, it will install the the Program Files folder, so you have to add that to your PATH as well.

Mohammed Shahid

@MDShahidnawaz_twitter

i have installed as pip install --user cookiecutter, and it had installed successfully. are you telling me to reinstall as a Admin and then give a try?

@eliotb

Is there a recommended way of using templates installed from pypi? https://pypi.org/search/?q=cookiecutter

Or should I seek out the git repo of the template I'm interested in and use that in the cookiecutter invocation?
