This is a modern Cookiecutter template that can be used to initiate a Python project with all the necessary tools for development, testing, and deployment. It supports the following features:

• PDM for dependency management
• CI/CD with GitHub Actions
• Pre-commit hooks with pre-commit
• Code quality with black, ruff, mypy, and deptry
• Publishing to Pypi or Artifactory by creating a new release on GitHub
• Testing and coverage with pytest and codecov
• Documentation with MkDocs
• Compatibility testing for multiple versions of Python with Tox
• Containerization with Docker

Quickstart

On your local machine, navigate to the directory in which you want to create a project directory, and run the following two commands:

pip install cookiecutter-pdm
ccpdm

Alternatively, install cookiecutter and directly pass the URL to this Github repository to the cookiecutter command:

pip install cookiecutter
cookiecutter https://github.com/fpgmaas/cookiecutter-pdm.git

Create a repository on GitHub, and then run the following commands, replacing <project-name>, with the name that you gave the Github repository and <github_author_handle> with your Github username.

cd <project_name>
git init -b main
git add .
git commit -m "Init commit"
git remote add origin git@github.com:<github_author_handle>/<project_name>.git
git push -u origin main

Finally, install the environment and the pre-commit hooks with

make install

You are now ready to start development on your project! The CI/CD pipeline will be triggered when you open a pull request, merge to main, or when you create a new release.

To finalize the set-up for publishing to PyPi or Artifactory, see here. For activating the automatic documentation with MkDocs, see here. To enable the code coverage reports, see here.
