Starting a Nautobot App with Cookiecutter

The cookiecutter software can use any one of a vast number of templates to create a new project, but we want to use the one provided by Nautobot at https://github.com/nautobot/cookiecutter-nautobot-app.

cookiecutter will download the template, prompt you for information, and use that information to generate a new project.

root@nautobot-app-dev:~# cookiecutter https://github.com/nautobot/cookiecutter-nautobot-app.git --directory=nautobot-app  [1/18] codeowner_github_usernames (): @glennmatthews

You can fill in your GitHub account username if you want to, or just hit Return to accept the default. This is just used to fill in some blanks in the project template; it doesn’t send data out to GitHub or anything like that.
