Why use pip? go get does an install. Use Go to build Go tools. Cheers.

I think it's just for installing cookiecutter, which looks like a Yeoman-like tool to create boilerplates from templates. The worlflow post-initialization will use regular go tools I guess.

@sethgrid pip is purely used to install cookiecutter which supports plugins to help you scaffold out new projects easily. Below is what is generated by cookiecutter.

@ChristianWitts is 100% correct

using cookiecutter is not that bad, is a very good project templates tool like many other, it just happens to be the one i use. i updated the read to show alternatives to pip so you can install cookiecutter.
