Briefcase Bootstrap template

A template for starting a Python app that will be deployed using Briefcase.

Using this template

In normal usage, you won't need to reference this template at all - it is used automatically by Briefcase when you run briefcase new.

If you are developing a modification to this template and want to test it, you can tell Briefcase to use your own template by passing in the -t option:

briefcase new -t <path to checkout>

Alternatively, if you want to test this template without using Briefcase, you can use cookiecutter directly.

1. Install cookiecutter:

   pip install cookiecutter

2. Run cookiecutter on this template:

   cookiecutter https://github.com/beeware/briefcase-template

3. Add your code to the project.
