sudo pip install cookiecutter

but if I try to start it ...

cookiecutter --help

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?

Fábio C. Barrionuevo da Luz

@luzfcb

@eliotb cookiecutter templates is not available from pypi at all. Use a url to a git repository

I think these packages only exist in pypi simply to retain the package name

Hello,
I want to automatize deploying cookiecutters ( from github ) but I want to pass arguments from bash variables (I am getting them from Jira). How can I achieve it?

For example:
cookiecutter github_link_to_cc_template

and now it's asking if I want my file to have name .... etc. from json

how can I automatize answering those questions with variables from bash script?

Jakub Konieczny

@kubadotka

Following my problem: I used echo -ne "\n$answer1\n$answer2\n$answer3\n\n" | cookiecutter $cctemplate
it was necessary to add '\n' after every argument as it it's the same as clicking 'RETURN' on manual delpoying via commandline.

Hi forks, I am new here. Is there a way to inject / update cookiecutter context from pre_gen_project.py.

(unsure whether it can be applied to the command line though～
possibly: cookiecutter --no-input --config-file PATH $cctemplate )

Jakub Konieczny

@kubadotka

@chhsiao1981 Yes! after polishing my code I came to result like you :)
It's working smoothly

Hi! Is there a variant of cookiecutter (or similar alternative) with a web-based UI (instead of cli)?

o/ long time fan of Cookiecutter. Wondering if there's a pattern to declare dependencies for my hooks so I could end with sphinx-quickstart

Rok Roškar

@rokroskar

hi all, is it possible to have multiple cookiecutter templates as subdirectories in a single repo?

Daniel Roy Greenfeld

@pydanny

@langep I removed those courses.

@all we're moving the Cookiecutter community to Slack. Please join at https://join.slack.com/t/cookie-cutter/shared_invite/enQtNzI0Mzg5NjE5Nzk5LTRlYWI2YTZhYmQ4YmU1Y2Q2NmE1ZjkwOGM0NDQyNTIwY2M4ZTgyNDVkNjMxMDdhZGI5ZGE5YmJjM2M3ODJlY2U

@ssbarnea

I think that going for slack is the worst possible move due to its closed/proprietary nature with serious history limitations and more important is silozed.

Iwan Aucamp

@aucampia

I want to download files from templates

Is there some way to do this?

so in LICENSE.txt I want to put "{{ ... }}" and then that should expand to the content of a file obtained with HTTP get basically

Iwan Aucamp

@aucampia

guess I can use hooks

Max Ludwig

@dAnjou

Hi, is it possible to nest cookiecutter templates? Like, our projects have infrastructure stuff in them that are the same but then there are language specific things in there to that vary, e.g. a project has a Kotlin or Clojure backend, a React or something else frontend, an OpenShift infra, and so on.

I agree with @ssbarnea. It's convenient if you love the Slack app on your mobile phone ("all my Slack chats in one place"), but the silozed nature is a major downside.

Hi all

Nice to be part of this community. I'm a newbie still reading the docs, and looking for this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58312858/is-there-a-cookiecutter-fork-that-generates-a-project-template-for-circleci-ins

Would be awesome if someone can lead me to the right direction.

Hello,
I am trying to generate github action.yml with cookiecutter
It seems that cookiecutter trys expanding github action variables like this: ${{ github.run_id }}
The error I get is

Unable to create file '.github/workflows/build-docker-image.yml'
Error message: 'github' is undefined
Any suggestions on how I can make cookiecutter ignore these variables?

Liam Greig

@liamgreig1

@syoh Adding "_copy_without_render": [".github/*"] to the cookiecutter.json file fixed this issue for me

Hi all, does anyone have any advice on how to transform dates from cookiecutter.json file? Please see (cookiecutter/cookiecutter#1663). In summary, is there any way to perform the following:

{                                                                                                                       "cruise_date_start": "YYYY-MM-DD",
"new_cruise_date_start": "{{ cookiecutter.cruise_date_start.strftime('%B %d, %Y') }}”,                                                                                                                                         }
