Copier allows you to run post render tasks, just like cookiecutter. These are
defined as a list of tasks in your copier.yml. They are simply shell
commands to run.
The example I have below runs an update-gratitude bash script after the
copier template has been rendered.
# copier.yml num: 128 _answers_file: .gratitude-copier-answers.yml _tasks: - "update-gratitude"
I have put the script in ~/.local/bin so that I know it's always on my
$PATH. It will reach back into the copier.yml and update the default
number.
#!/bin/bash # ~/.local/bin/update-gratitude current=`awk '{print $2}' ~/.copier-templates/gratitude/copier.yml | head -n 1` new=`expr $current + 1` echo $current echo $new sed -i "s/$current/$new/g" ~/.copier-templates/gratitude/copier.yml
