Create a new repo from the template

Once you have followed the tutorial, you can use copier to make a new project from the template:

git init --initial-branch=main /path/to/my-project
# $_ resolves to /path/to/my-project
uvx copier copy https://github.com/DiamondLightSource/python-copier-template.git $_

This will:

  • Ask some questions about the project to be created
  • Expand the template with the answers give
  • Record the answers in the project so they can be used in later updates
  • Create a git repository if the directory is not already one

Committing the results

You can now check what the template has created, tweak the results if desired, , and commit the results:

$ cd /path/to/my-project
$ uv sync
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Expand from python-copier-template x.x.x"
