cookiecutter

[dvolgyes]

As it was mentioned in another ticket, maybe it is time to modernize the example a bit.
If/when this happens, it would be nice to consider 'cookiecutter' as a template engine,
so the instructions, like 'delete this', 'make a directory', etc., could be automated nicely.
E.g. similar to this template:

@dvolgyes looks nice, mind send a PR?

Hi,
Any update on this?

Hi @Borda . If you are interested in this feature, I could prepare an MR. I have done this for templates in the past so it wouldn't be too difficult.

I would also suggest to test the cookiecutter templating (including CI) and the only reliable way I know of, is to actually run it and commit the resulting project to a dedicated repo to let the CI run on the result of the template. I used this mechanism for my own template (for python libraries), where commits to https://github.com/appliedAI-Initiative/pymetrius lead to code being comitted to https://github.com/appliedAI-Initiative/pymetrius_output. Setting this up requires setting new CI variables in this project and having something like https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/deep-learning-project-template_output.

What do you think?
