Copy without Render
-------------------

*New in Cookiecutter 1.1*

To avoid rendering directories and files of a cookiecutter, the `_copy_without_render` key can be used in the `cookiecutter.json`. The value of this key accepts a list of Unix shell-style wildcards::

    {
        "project_slug": "sample",
        "_copy_without_render": [
            "*.html",
            "*not_rendered_dir",
            "rendered_dir/not_rendered_file.ini"
        ]
    }
