Hey everybody! You know how, when you want to make a new project, you basically take an existing one, like nova, copy files, and then start deleting? Nobody likes that.
Recently, cookiecutter came to my attention, so we put together a cookiecutter repo for openstack projects to make creating a new one easier: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-dev/cookiecutter It's pretty easy to use. First, install cookiecutter: sudo pip install cookiecutter Next, tell cookiecutter you'd like to create a new project based on the openstack template: cookiecutter git://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/cookiecutter.git Cookiecutter will then ask you three questions: a) What repo groups should it go in? (eg. openstack, openstack-infra, stackforge) b) What is the name of the repo? (eg. mynewproject) c) What is the project's short description? (eg. "OpenStack Wordpress as a Service") And boom, you'll have a directory all set up with your new project ready and waiting for a "git init ; git add . ; git commit" Hope this helps folks out - and we'll try to keep it up to date with things that become "best practices" - patches welcome on that front.
