I just wanted to clarify: while the params are documented through the options: https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cli_options.html I looked for a way to combine two different cookiecutter templates and then to use the result. That way I can write my own additions without the need to fork a project. This should work pretty well with a minimal base cookiecutter. For that to work I would have to know if overwriting is some kind of merging (files are overwritten as they are encountered) or if it is a fresh start (the whole directory is removed and then recreated). Obviously I can figure this out by reading the source, just wanted to explain why it would be good if kind of obvious parameters had some docs too |
