Tutorial 2: Create a Cookiecutter From Scratch

Step 1: Name Your Cookiecutter

In this tutorial, we are creating cookiecutter-website-simple, a cookiecutter for generating simple, bare-bones websites.

Create the directory for your cookiecutter and cd into it:

$ mkdir cookiecutter-website-simple
$ cd cookiecutter-website-simple/

Step 2: Create repo_name Directory

Create a directory called {{ cookiecutter.repo_name }}.

This value will be replaced with the repo name of projects that you generate from this cookiecutter.

Step 3: Create Files

Inside of {{ cookiecutter.repo_name }}, create index.html, site.css, and site.js.
