Template for Python packages based on Conda.
This package is developed to ease development of ECMWF packages, but it is intended to
be more generic.

Alpha stage:
- pre-commit hooks
  - various linters
  - ruff
- version with setuptools-scm-git
- copyright + Apache v2.0 license
- GitHub Actions
  - unit-tests (py3.11)
  - pre-commit
  - integration-tests
  - build documentation
  - static type check
  - build package & publish on PyPI
- Makefile
- gitignore
- make Docker image
- auto template update via cruft
- add documentation skeleton (with sphinx / myst)
Planned:
- keep environment files up-to-date
## Usage
For best experience create a new conda environment (e.g. DEVELOP) with Python 3.11,
cruft and make, then create the package:
```
conda create -n DEVELOP -c conda-forge python=3.11 cruft make
conda activate DEVELOP
cruft create https://github.com/ecmwf-projects/cookiecutter-conda-package
```
answer the configuration questions or accept the defaults when in doubt.
Create the git repo and add the pre-commit git hooks:
```
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit of the package boilerplate"
```
Attach an empty remote repository and push the skeleton package:
```
git branch -M main
git remote add origin git@github.com:ORGANISATION/PROJECT_NAME.git
git push --set-upstream origin main
```
To setup the package and its dependecies run:
```
make conda-env-update
conda activate DEVELOP
pre-commit install
pip install -e . --no-deps
```
Finally to run pre-commit, pytest, and mypy on the newly created package run:
```
make
```
To update the boilerplate to the latest template execute:
```
make template-update
```
