Ask HN: How do you manager boilerplates?

1 pointxcubic4 comments

So, how do you manage your boilerplates?

The possibilities that come to mind:

- Clone a repo and it's ready to go; - Clone a repo and run a script to setup everything; - Use tools like yeoman, create-react-app, etc;

What's your setup?

For Python I use cookiecutter.

It looks like to be a pretty cool tool. My follow up question is: after using it to create a new project, if you add features to the boilerplate, can you easily add them too to the project or do you do it by hand?

I think cookiecutter could be used for any project. Python happens to be the language its implemented in. Looks neat, simple.

You are right.
