# Python App Template
A Cookiecutter template for building CLI-first Python applications with uv, Typer, Pydantic, and strict typing.
## Features
- **CLI-first** architecture with Typer
- **Local-first config** (XDG paths) with env override
- **uv** for fast dependency management and reproducible installs
- **Ruff** for linting/formatting
- **MyPy** with strict typing
- **Pytest** with coverage support
- **Invoke** tasks for common operations
- **py.typed** marker for typed packages
- **Example command** wired from core `commands/` into CLI
## Quick Start
1. Install cookiecutter:
```bash
pipx install cookiecutter
```
2. Generate a new project:
```bash
cruft create https://gitlab.com/roxautomation/templates/python-app-template
```
Or locally:
```bash
cookiecutter /path/to/python-app-template
```
3. The template will prompt for project details and automatically:
- Initialize git repository
- Set up uv environment
- Run initial linting and formatting
- Execute tests to verify setup
