1. Install [cookiecutter] in a `conda`, `mamba` or `venv` environment
(commented lines for conda example).
-```
-# conda create --channel conda-forge --name new-env-name
-# conda activate new-env-name
-# conda install pip
-pip install cookiecutter
-```
-
-2. Run cookiecutter in the desired directory
- ```
- cookiecutter gh:ucl-arc/python-tooling
- ```
- If you have this repo locally (this may be the case if you are developing),
- you can run the following:
- ```
- cookiecutter /path/to/your/checkout/of/python-tooling
- ```
-3. A series of questions will pop up to configure the project. Type the answer
- or hit return to use the default option (shown in square brackets).
-
- Note that these project variables are defined in the `cookiecutter.json`
- file.
-
-4. This will create a specific directory structure.
-
- For example, for a project with the following variables:
-
- ```
- project_name [Python Template]: PROJECT_NAME
- project_slug [python-template]: PROJECT_SLUG
- ```
-
- we will get a project folder named `PROJECT_SLUG`, structured like this:
-
- ```
- PROJECT_SLUG
- ├── ...
- ├── README.md
- ├── pyproject.toml
- ├── src
- │ └── PROJECT_SLUG
- │ └── PROJECT_SLUG.py
- └── tests
- └── test_dummy.py
- ```
-
- And the `PROJECT_NAME` will appear in the README.md as the human-readable
- name of the project.
-
- ```
- cat PROJECT_SLUG/README.md
- # PROJECT_NAME
- ...
- ```
-
-5. To work on your project, initialise a git repository and _install_ it in
- editable mode.
- ```
- cd PROJECT_SLUG
- git init
- python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
- ```
-6. Build your package
- ```
- python -m build
- ```
+ ```
+ # conda create --channel conda-forge --name new-env-name
