Quickstart

On your local machine, navigate to the directory in which you want to create a project directory, and run the following command:

uvx cookiecutter https://github.com/osprey-oss/cookiecutter-uv.git

or if you don't have uv installed yet:

pip install cookiecutter
cookiecutter https://github.com/osprey-oss/cookiecutter-uv.git

Follow the prompts to configure your project. Once completed, a new directory containing your project will be created. Then navigate into your newly created project directory and follow the instructions in the README.md to complete the setup of your project.
