Pattern is a modern, opinionated, cookiecutter template for your next Python project. Included is modern tooling and dependencies with sensible rules and settings. Also included is all the boilerplate documentation, GitHub actions, and project extras you would need to create good foundation for your next python project.
Note
Make sure you have UV installed before you start.
Create new project:
uvx cookiecutter gh:wyattferguson/patternAlternatively you can use Cruft:
uvx cruft create gh:wyattferguson/patternThen just follow the prompts, pick the tools you want to install, and watch the magic happen.
Everything comes pre-configured to work out of the box. On setup you can pick and choose what extras to install or to leave behind.
