customise create.project()

[Ross Ahmed]

Is it possible to customise what gets loaded when running create.project(). For example, can I stop the files 'README' and 'TODO' being loaded with each new project?

[John Myles White]

You can use the minimal option to create.project() to get rid of most things. To have more flexibility than that, you'll probably need to patch the ProjectTemplate library code.

I tend to have a lot of similar small projects, so I have a pre-modified project called "template" that I copy around when I need something new.

It's not elegant but it works.

We should come up with some mechanism for doing that automatically. We could offer an option that specifies where to find a custom template for new projects. It would probably have to be a file path unless people have a cleaner approach.
