template.py

A barebones cookiecutter template for Python projects.

• environment management with direnv
• automatic linting/formatting with pre-commit and Ruff
• minimal pyproject.toml configuration
• support for src-layout and single-module Python distributables, as well as a bare repository

Not all projects require type checking, tests, Sphinx documentation, or default CI pipelines.

Usage

cookiecutter gh:tlgs/template.py
