repo-scaffold

A modern project scaffolding tool that helps you quickly create standardized project structures with best practices.

Features

• 🚀 Quick project initialization with modern best practices
• 📦 Cookiecutter templates with standardized structure
• ⚙️ Interactive project configuration
• 🔧 Pre-configured development tools (ruff, pytest, just)
• 📚 Documentation setup with MkDocs Material
• 🔄 GitHub Actions workflows included
• 🏷️ Conventional-commit driven versioning via Cocogitto
• 📦 Dependency / workspace management with uv

Installation

# Recommended: install as a uv tool
uv tool install repo-scaffold

# Or run without installing
uvx repo-scaffold list

# Or with pip
pip install repo-scaffold

Quick Start

# List available templates
repo-scaffold list

# Create a new project (interactive)
repo-scaffold create python

# Create a project in a specific directory, no prompts
repo-scaffold create python --no-input -o ./my-projects

# Create a uv workspace monorepo
repo-scaffold create uv-workspace -o ./my-projects

# Push a generated project to GitHub: create the repo, set CI secrets,
# push the initial commit. Reads GITHUB_TOKEN from the environment.
export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_...
repo-scaffold gh-init ./my-projects/my-python-project

See the GitHub bootstrap docs for the full flag list and the secrets/variables gh-init knows how to set.

Available Templates

Currently supported project templates:

• python — single-package Python project

  • pyproject.toml + uv for dependency management
  • pytest + coverage, ruff for lint & format
  • Optional Click CLI, Podman compose files, GitHub Actions, MkDocs Material docs
  • Cocogitto release workflow that bumps version, writes CHANGELOG.md, tags, and triggers PyPI publish

• uv-workspace — uv workspace monorepo

  • Workspace-aware pyproject.toml with one initial member under packages/
  • Shared dev / docs dependency groups
  • Cocogitto monorepo release workflow with per-package and global tags
  • Same lint / test / docs tooling as the python template

Both templates use just (via rust-just) as the task runner. Bootstrap from a clean machine with uvx --from rust-just just init — that recipe also installs rust-just as a uv tool, so every subsequent recipe can be run as plain just <recipe>.

Development Setup

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ShawnDen-coder/repo-scaffold.git
cd repo-scaffold

# Bootstrap once: installs rust-just as a uv tool, syncs deps, installs hooks
uvx --from rust-just just init

# Subsequent runs use `just` directly
just lint
just test

Releasing

This project (and the templates it generates) uses Cocogitto driven by conventional commits:

• Push a feat: / fix: / breaking-change commit to master and the version-bump workflow runs cog bump --auto, updating CHANGELOG.md, bumping pyproject.toml via uv version, committing, and tagging.
• The release workflow then builds and publishes the tagged version.

See cog.toml for hook and changelog configuration.
