Question on project setup. My workflow usually looks like:

mkdir new-project
cd new-project
uv venv --python 3.xx
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install kedro
kedro new --name new-project

Then my directories look like:

new-project/
    .venv/
    new-project/
        ... kedro stuff ...

but really i wanted the current directory to be my kedro project (at the level where

.venv

is) Is there a good way to do this? of course I could just create the venv a directory up, like so:

new-project/
    ... kedro stuff ...
.venv/

but I was things all in the same directory without having to move all the kedro project files one directory up

Someone will reply to you shortly. In the meantime, we've found some posts that could help answer your question.

yeah,

kedro new

is sadly famous for creating yet another directory, because it relies on cookiecutter under the hood... long standing discussion https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/discussions/4274 one possible solution is to install kedro globally (with

uvx

or

pip-tools

) and use that to run

kedro new

:

uv tool install kedro  # this will be global
uvx kedro new --name new-project && cd new-project
uv venv --python 3.xx
uv pip install kedro  # this will install Kedro only for this venv

another possible workaround is to use my

kedro-init

package, that does a very minimal scaffolding but in return works in the current directory https://github.com/astrojuanlu/kedro-init

I knew I couldn't be the only one! Thanks for the quick response I'll just keep moving things up one directory, no big deal 😁
