Quickstart

Get the latest version of Cruft (or Cookiecutter) I recommend pipx to install it into a global isolated environment.

pipx install cruft

Generate a new python package

cruft create https://github.com/escaped/cookiecutter-pypackage.git
cd <chosen project slug>
git init
git add .
git commit -m "feat: initial project structure"

Publish releases to pypi

In order get automatic releases to pypi you need to add your pypi access token to the github secrets (named PYPI_TOKEN). Instructions can be found here: python.org.

Autoupdate template

This cookiecutter template comes with an auto update feature if the project was created using cruft. A GitHub action automatically checks for updates and creates a pull request.

It is required to add a personal access token as github secret to the repository (named AUTO_UPDATE_GITHUB_TOKEN). While creating the access token, the following permissions have to be granted

• repo
• workflow
