cookiedough(1) is a GUI browser for cookiecutter templates. And can of course extract them. It comes with a database of around 2300 cookietemplates, grouped by category, and allows some rudimentary filtering. Very early alpha, but usable.

Installation / Use

Just install it as normal pip package:

~$   pip3 install -U cookiedough

And start it from a terminal window:

~/projects$   cookiedough

Keep an eye on the terminal when rolling out a template. Not all prompts might be captured by monkeypatching.

Notes

There's some usage information in the man page, and in the →Help→Help.

Bugs / Caveats

• The search is still finicky. Right now it starts on any key press; [.. might either filter this by ENTER, or add a button to that effect].
• The README colorization is fairly basic. (But more processsing would slow it down too much.)
• It can crash when speed-scrolling through the templates. (Perhaps PSG vs Tk threads issue.)
• Tkinter might also crash when encountering emojis. (Either install Symbola font and get rid of Noto Color Emoji. Or upgrade to tcl/tk 8.6.10, or go back to Ubuntu 18.04 where it miraculously worked.)
