I am proud to say that I recently hit this coveted milestone. I have this Hacker News post—which went viral for about 24 hours—to thank for that. At the time of this writing, funky has 317 stars on GitHub.

In case you haven’t heard of cookie before, I’ll start this post off by giving a quick micro-tutorial of the tool. As the title of this post suggests, cookie is a “Template-based File Generator”. But what does that mean? It’s just like it sounds really. cookie templates are stored in ~/.cookiecutters.
