I like the idea, however it seems to be static files.

I don't know how to work gitlab template but I think it's static files. With CI we can easily automatizing static file generation from this template

@ewjoachim do you have any ideas/suggestions about this?

Not really, I haven't had the opportunity to work with GitLab since it introduced templates. But yes, it can be nice to only do the work once.

As a side note, as much as I like bootstrapping tools, I prefer having the opportunity to review every file before it's commited on the repo, so that I don't get too much boilerplate cargo cult files. My ideal template would include some doc explaining all the "specific files" of the project, and how they work, for both the person using cookiecutter/..., and the future devs of the repo. The advantage of cookie cutter in this case is that one may get rid of useless file from the beginning.

I think gitlab integration is not feasable. If someone want gitlab template it can generate a static one from the cookiecutter one
