copier-bootstrap

This is a copier template for generating other copier templates, with the aim of setting up testing and a deployment pipeline for the resulting template.

Quickstart

Assuming the requirements are installed here is a quick example of how this template could be used.

gh repo create copier-my-template --public --license apache-2.0 --clone
cd copier-my-template
git switch -c chore/copier
copier copy https://github.com/dafyddj/copier-bootstrap .
pre-commit install
texttest -b
git add .
git commit -m "chore: initial bootstrapped template"
gh pr create            # Accept all defaults
gh pr checks --watch    # Observe tests passing
gh pr --merge -dm

Requirements

Install dependencies using pip, pipx or Homebrew/Linuxbrew.

For example:

pip install --user pipx
pipx ensurepath

pipx install copier pre-commit texttest

or

brew install copier pre-commit texttest

This is optional but the official GitHub CLI tool (gh) can ease working with GitHub using the command line.
