- ✔️ Support for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
- ✔️ Environment management and command automation using
tox. - ✔️ Watchdog / live-reload for a frictionless authoring experience.
- 🚧 Preconfigured extensions for graphs, diagrams, and charts.
Creating a new document is as easy as this:
cookiecutter "https://github.com/Springerle/sphinx-document"You'll get asked a few questions, the project directory is created in the current working directory based on your input. Commit the new project unchanged into a new git repository directly after that, before you build it or change anything – this is important to make later updates easier.
If you use this often (more than once), it makes sense to copy manifest values as requested by cookiecutter.json, like your name, to the default_context of your ~/.cookiecutterrc. This saves a lot of typing on project creation, and reduces typos.
See the Cookiecutter documentation for details on how to use the tool.
If you don't have cookiecutter installed yet, use these commands:
# Install into "~/.local/share/dephell/venvs/" and "~/.local/bin/"
curl -L dephell.org/install | python3 # skip if you already have 'dephell'
dephell jail install cookiecutterIt is a quick way to get a setup that can be easily removed or updated later on.
