Prompt Arguments

When running the cookiecutter command, a prompt will appear to help you configure your repository. Below are the prompt values and their explanations:


author
Your full name.

email
Your email address.

author_github_handle
Your GitHub handle, e.g., <handle> in https://github.com/<handle>.

project_name
The name of your project. This should match the name of your repository and contain only alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-).

project_slug
The project slug, which defaults to the project_name with all hyphens (-) replaced by underscores (_). This is how you will import your code later, for example:

from <project_slug> import foo

project_description
A brief description of your project.
