Creates a new folder called < folder_name >.2. Copies in that folder all the files included in the project template folder. This can be specified with the --template-dir option; the default is templates/project/ff0000.3. If a file called red_start_settings.py is present in that folder, and if it contains a function called after_copy, then that file is loaded and that function executed.As an example, in the case of the ff0000 project template, the after_copy function downloads an HTML5 boilerplate from GitHub, prompts the user for some variables and substitutes them in the template. This is just an example, other project templates can perform any other operation.Creating a new project templateTo add a new project template to red-start, simply add it in the templates folder, under project. If you need to perform extra actions after the files have been copied, add a file called red_start_settings.py with an after_copy function (take a look at existing templates).Finally, to use the newly created template, just indicate its path as the --template-dir option, for instance: red-start.py --template-dir=/your/custom/template new_exampleProduct's homepage
