## Features

Did someone say features?

* Cross-platform: Windows, Mac, and Linux are officially supported.

* Works with Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, and PyPy. *(But you don't have to know/write Python code to use Cookiecutter.)*

* Project templates can be in any programming language or markup format:  
  Python, JavaScript, Ruby, CoffeeScript, RST, Markdown, CSS, HTML, you name it. You can use multiple languages in the same project template.

* Simple command line usage:

```bash
# Create project from the cookiecutter-pypackage.git repo template
# You'll be prompted to enter values.
# Then it'll create your Python package in the current working directory,
# based on those values.
$ cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage
# For the sake of brevity, repos on GitHub can just use the 'gh' prefix
$ cookiecutter gh:audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage
```

* Use it at the command line with a local template:

```bash
# Create project in the current working directory, from the local
# cookiecutter-pypackage/ template
$ cookiecutter cookiecutter-pypackage/
```

* Or use it from Python:

```py
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 filenames can be templated. For example:

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

* Supports unlimited levels of directory nesting.

* 100% of templating is done with Jinja2. This includes file and directory names.

* Simply define your template variables in a ``cookiecutter.json`` file. For example:

```json
{
    "full_name": "Audrey Roy",
    "email": "audreyr@gmail.com",
    "project_name": "Complexity",
    "repo_name": "complexity",
    "project_short_description": "Refreshingly simple static site generator.",
    "release_date": "2013-07-10",
    "year": "2013",
    "version": "0.1.1"
}
```

* Unless you suppress it with ``--no-input``, you are prompted for input:

  * Prompts are the keys in ``cookiecutter.json``.
  * Default responses are the values in ``cookiecutter.json``.
  * Prompts are shown in order.

* Cross-platform support for ``~/.cookiecutterrc`` files:

```yaml
default_context:
full_name: "Audrey Roy"
email: "audreyr@gmail.com"
github_username: "audreyr"
cookiecutters_dir: "~/.cookiecutters/"
```

* Cookiecutters (cloned Cookiecutter project templates) are put into ``~/.cookiecutters/`` by default, or cookiecutters_dir if specified.

* If you have already cloned a cookiecutter into ``~/.cookiecutters/``, you can reference it by directory name:

```bash
# Clone cookiecutter-pypackage
$ cookiecutter gh:audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage
# Now you can use the already cloned cookiecutter by name
$ cookiecutter cookiecutter-pypackage
```

* You can use local cookiecutters, or remote cookiecutters directly from Git repos or from Mercurial repos on Bitbucket.

* Default context: specify key/value pairs that you want used as defaults whenever you generate a project.

* Inject extra context with command-line arguments:

```bash
cookiecutter --no-input gh:msabramo/cookiecutter-supervisor program_name=foobar startsecs=10
```

* Direct access to the Cookiecutter API allows for injection of extra context.

* Pre- and post-generate hooks: Python or shell scripts to run before or after generating a project.

* Paths to local projects can be specified as absolute or relative.

* Projects are always generated to your current directory.

## Available Cookiecutters

If you don't find a cookiecutter that suits your needs here, please consider writing or suggesting one. We wish for our users to find a solution for their use cases, and we provide a list of other projects that we do not maintain for your convenience (please see the [Similar Projects](#similar-projects) section).

## Community

The core committer team can be found in [authors section](AUTHORS.md). We are always welcome and invite you to participate.

Stuck? Try one of the following:

* See the [Troubleshooting](https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting.html) page.
* Ask for help on [Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/).
* You are strongly encouraged to [file an issue](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/issues?q=is%3Aopen) about the problem, even if it's just "I can't get it to work on this cookiecutter" with a link to your cookiecutter. Don't worry about naming/pinpointing the issue properly.
* Ask for help on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/audreyr/cookiecutter) if you must (but please try one of the other options first, so that others can benefit from the discussion)

Development on Cookiecutter is community-driven:

* Huge thanks to all the [contributors](AUTHORS.md) who have pitched in to help make Cookiecutter an even better tool.
* Everyone is invited to contribute. Read the [contributing instructions](CONTRIBUTING.md), then get started.

Connect with other Cookiecutter contributors and users on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/audreyr/cookiecutter):

* [https://gitter.im/audreyr/cookiecutter](https://gitter.im/audreyr/cookiecutter) (note: due to work and commitments, a core committer might not always be available)

Encouragement is unbelievably motivating. If you want more work done on Cookiecutter, show support:

* Thank a core committer for their efforts.
* Star [Cookiecutter on GitHub](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter).
* [Support this project](#support-this-project)

Got criticism or complaints?

* [File an issue](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/issues?q=is%3Aopen) so that Cookiecutter can be improved. Be friendly and constructive about what could be better. Make detailed suggestions.
* **Keep us in the loop so that we can help.** For example, if you are discussing problems with Cookiecutter on a mailing list, [file an issue](https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/issues?q=is%3Aopen) where you link to the discussion thread and/or cc at least 1 core committer on the email.
* Be encouraging. A comment like "This function ought to be rewritten like this" is much more likely to result in action than a comment like "Eww, look how bad this function is."

Waiting for a response to an issue/question?

* Be patient and persistent. All issues are on the core committer team's radar and will be considered thoughtfully, but we have a lot of issues to work through. If urgent, it's fine to ping a core committer in the issue with a reminder.
* Ask others to comment, discuss, review, etc.
* Search the Cookiecutter repo for issues related to yours.
* Need a fix/feature/release/help urgently, and can't wait? [@audreyr](https://github.com/audreyr) is available for hire for consultation or custom development.

## Support This Project

This project is run by volunteers. Shortly we will be providing means for organizations and individuals to support the project.

## Code of Conduct

Everyone interacting in the Cookiecutter project's codebases, issue trackers, chat rooms, and mailing lists is expected to follow the [PyPA Code of Conduct](https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/code-of-conduct/).

## A Pantry Full of Cookiecutters

You can check all [cookiecutter templates](https://github.com/topics/cookiecutter-template) on GitHub. If you are template publisher keep in mind to add the ``cookiecutter-template`` topic to your repository and the correct language tags.
