Cookiecutter Conda Data Science

A logical, reasonably standardized, but flexible project structure for doing and sharing data science work.

Requirements

Conda
Cookiecutter Python package: This can be installed with pip by or conda depending on how you manage your Python packages:

pip install cookiecutter

conda install -c conda-forge cookiecutter

Create a new project

In a folder where you want your project generated:

cookiecutter https://github.com/jvelezmagic/cookiecutter-conda-data-science
