.. _replay-feature: Replay Project Generation ------------------------- *New in Cookiecutter 1.1* On invocation **Cookiecutter** dumps a json file to ``~/.cookiecutter_replay/`` which enables you to *replay* later on. In other words, it persists your **input** for a template and fetches it when you run the same template again. Example for a replay file (which was created via ``cookiecutter gh:hackebrot/cookiedozer``):: { "cookiecutter": { "app_class_name": "FooBarApp", "app_title": "Foo Bar", "email": "raphael@example.com", "full_name": "Raphael Pierzina", "github_username": "hackebrot", "kivy_version": "1.8.0", "project_slug": "foobar", "short_description": "A sleek slideshow app that supports swipe gestures.", "version": "0.1.0", "year": "2015" } } To fetch this context data without being prompted on the command line you can use either of the following methods. Pass the according option on the CLI:: cookiecutter --replay gh:hackebrot/cookiedozer Or use the Python API:: from cookiecutter.main import cookiecutter cookiecutter('gh:hackebrot/cookiedozer', replay=True) This feature is comes in handy if, for instance, you want to create a new project from an updated template.
