To generate a project from the template:

On the command-line:

- Or in Python code, programmatically:

# Create a project from a local path run_copy("path/to/project/template", "path/to/destination")

# Or from a Git URL. run_copy("https://github.com/copier-org/copier.git", "path/to/destination")

# You can also use "gh:" as a shortcut of "https://github.com/" run_copy("gh:copier-org/copier.git", "path/to/destination")

# Or "gl:" as a shortcut of "https://gitlab.com/" run_copy("gl:copier-org/copier.git", "path/to/destination")

## Basic concepts

Copier is composed of these main concepts:
Templates. They lay out how to generate the subproject.
Questionnaires. They are configured in the template. Answers are used to generate
   projects.
Projects. This is where your real program lives. But it is usually generated
   and/or updated from a template.
Copier targets these main human audiences:
Template creators. Programmers that repeat code too much and prefer a tool to do
    it for them.
_Tip:_ Copier doesn't replace the DRY principle... but sometimes you simply
    can't be DRY and you need a DRYing machine...
Template consumers. Programmers that want to start a new project quickly, or
    that want to evolve it comfortably.
Non-humans should be happy also by using Copier's CLI or API, as long as their
expectations are the same as for those humans... and as long as they have feelings.
Templates have these goals:
Code scaffolding>). Help
   consumers have a working source code tree as quickly as possible. All templates allow
   scaffolding.
Code lifecycle management. When the template evolves, let consumers update their
   projects. Not all templates allow updating.
Copier tries to have a smooth learning curve that lets you create simple templates that
can evolve into complex ones as needed.
Browse or tag public templates
You can browse public Copier templates on GitHub using
the copier-template topic. Use them as
inspiration!

If you want your template to appear in that list, just add the topic to it! 🏷
