What is Cookiecutter Maker?

cookiecutter_maker is a Python library that does the reverse of traditional cookiecutter templating. Instead of creating a template from scratch, it helps you convert an existing project into a cookiecutter template automatically.

Key Concept

In software development, teams often start with a working project and want to standardize it as a template for future use. Cookiecutter Maker simplifies this process by:

• Automatically converting concrete projects into cookiecutter templates

• Replacing hardcoded values with parameterized placeholders

• Generating a cookiecutter.json configuration file

• Handling complex project structures with customizable include/exclude rules
