Description
When applying the template to an existing codebase, two things come up that may confuse people:
- If certain files already exist (
pyproject.toml
,CITATION.cff
, etc.), they are deliberately skipped. A note saying that this is indeed deliberate may be helpful - For any other existing files, copier will ask if it should overwrite the file. Most people's first instinct seems to be to answer
no
, because they don't want to lose data, but are interested in the improvements. If the existing codebase is already agit
repo however, the recommended answer should beyes
, and then letgit
deal with displaying the difference.
