Kickstarting projects with Cookiecutter
summary
Cookiecutter is a CLI that installs from PyPI, clones templates over git or mercurial, prompts for values and renders files with Jinja2; the project reports 150 contributors and 1000+ templates on GitHub. It shows how to author cookiecutter.json defaults, use filters and hooks, run without prompts via extra context, and embed license includes. The demo generates a custom Jupyter widget from a template, installs it, registers the extension and succeeds.
