I recently had to update my copier-gallery command to trust my own templates because some of them have shell scripts that run afterwards. Be warned that this could be a dangerous feature to run on random templates you get off the internet, but these are all mine, so if I wreck it its my own fault.

  copier copy --trust <template> <destination>

                                         created by Copier.
      --UNSAFE, --trust                  Allow templates with unsafe features (Jinja

      -a, --answers-file VALUE:str       Update using this path (relative to
                                         `destination_path`) to find the answers file
      -d, --data VARIABLE=VALUE:str      Make VARIABLE available as VALUE when rendering the

                                         latest git tag, as sorted using the PEP 440
                                         algorithm. If you want to checkout always the
                                         latest version, use `--vcs-ref=HEAD`.
