Config file for startproject.

[Hiroki Kiyohara]

Hi all.

I propose a new feature `.djangorc`.
It should be included in root of project template.
You can write down configations for `startproject --template=...`

## Motivation

I always use custom project template, but it requires a lot of arguments like...

    django-admin startproject --template=/path/to/template --extension=py,md,rst,ini,cfg --name=.coveragerc <project_name>

Actually I use this `startproject` feature to create 'repository skeleton' not only django's project directory.
'repository skeleton' contains like README.md, tox.ini, .coveragerc, and django's project direcotry and so on.

I know this usage of `startproject` is little tricky. but I think some of django users use like this and
want this `.djangorc` feature (not to pass a lot of argument).

## Proposal

`.djangorc` will contain some of this.

```
[startproject]
extension=py,md,rst,ini,cfg
name=.coveragerc
```

and If some project template contains this file, startproject command follow this config on creation process.

How do you think about it?
It's just my idea and there's no implementation.
I want your feedback, thank you.

There are a couple of problems with this proposal IMO.

1) The .djangorc file would need to be somewhere on the file system (like ~/.djangorc), because you want it for the startproject command, it can't be deployed with startproject

2) It doesn't seem to provide that big a benefit

3) A simple bash alias can achieve the exact same result

I just don't think this is something that Django needs to take on when it's very easy to create your own alias that does exactly what you need.

Thanks, Josh.

* I thought the config (.djangorc) should be included in project template it's own.

* bash alias is OK, but it's not easy to share this way with lots of developers like "Hey, when you start development, please type `alias mystartproject...` (so long)."

anyway, I got it. I'll create some aliases or wrapper commands if it's necessary.

You may also want to look into cookiecutter as a way of managing more complex templates for projects.

Sounds like you might want to take a look at cookiecutter[0] and/or
project templates[1]

for example, check whether this level of customization capabilities of the generated project that you need:

pip install tox cookiecutter

cookiecutter https://github.com/ionelmc/cookiecutter-pylibrary.git


The ionelmc cookiecutter-pylibrary project uses the cookiecutter hooks to customize post-generated project[1]

that said, the cookiecutter master branch, not yet released, now supports choices[2]
