Data Project Template

Cookiecutter Data Science

This project template is a simplified version of the Cookiecutter Data Science template, created to suit the needs of Datalumina and made available as a GitHub template.

Adjusting .gitignore

Ensure you adjust the .gitignore file according to your project needs. For example, since this is a template, the /data/ folder is commented out and data will not be exlucded from source control:

# exclude data from source control by default
# /data/

Typically, you want to exclude this folder if it contains either sensitive data that you do not want to add to version control or large files.

Duplicating the .env File

To set up your environment variables, you need to duplicate the .env.example file and rename it to .env. You can do this manually or using the following terminal command:

cp .env.example .env # Linux, macOS, Git Bash, WSL
copy .env.example .env # Windows Command Prompt

This command creates a copy of .env.example and names it .env, allowing you to configure your environment variables specific to your setup.
