Allow the repo to be used as Template repository about data-science-template HOT 3 CLOSED

That's correct @mahewitt , the only customization Github allow is the repository name when using a template to create a new repo, You're right that all the cookie cutter advantages will be lost. I was trying to find out a way for a command line free process to set this up, but appears like template isn't the best way as of now & generated version will have the hardcoded cookie cutter config values.

Hi @choukha Are you thinking the repository as is, or a generated version? It wouldn't make much sense to add the template as-is as it is designed to run through cookie cutter to add project specific naming and otherwise. Having a generated version and setting as a template repository you would also lose these benefits from what I can see?

Then I will close this
