This is a Cookiecutter

The template was created taking as a reference:

• GitHub repo: https://github.com/audreyfeldroy/cookiecutter-pypackage/

Repositories created from this template include

• Proper repository structure with pre-defined folders.
• Code documentation with Sphinx.
• Testing setup and code coverage with pytestand pytest-cov.
• Code examples within code documentation is tested with doctest.
• Code linting with pytlint and flake8.
• Documentation linting with darglint.
• Complexity measurement with radon.
• Code formatting with black.
• Git hooks with pre-commit.
• Command line interface using Click.
• Makefile with pre-defined targets to automate tasks.

Clone the repository with:

git clone https://github.com/alvaroof/project_template

Open VSCode then open cookicutter.code-workspace file. VSCode will automatically open the project within a Docker container.

Open VSCode terminal and type make. This will create just the project scaffold within the out directory.

During the process you will be asked:

• project_name - Project name (see "Naming conventions" section)
• project_slug - Name of the main root directory (see "Naming conventions" section)
• package_name - Package name (see "Naming conventions" section)
• version - Initial version; we recommend using the default value

Install the latest Cookiecutter (it is highly recommended to do it within a virtual environment):

pip install -U cookiecutter

Create Python package project from the template:

cookiecutter cookiecutter_pypackage

This will create just the project scaffold. During the process you will be asked about: project_name, project_slug, package_name and version (see previous section).

The name of the project shall be short and descriptive enough

It shall be like project_name (in snake case format).

The acronym should be generated from the project root directory.

Create a new Git project in Gitlab. Then we will push the new project scaffold with:

cd your_new_project_scaffold
git init
git remote add origin <url>
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
