Hello, can anyone point me to some example kedro starter template repos? Im working on creating one at work, but theres some confusing parts of the documentation that I think would be cleared up with an example repo

Someone will reply to you shortly. In the meantime, this might help:

Hi Ben, we've got the official `kedro-starters` repo that contains the templates used when going through the

kedro new

flow. There's also https://github.com/kedro-org/awesome-kedro which contains a list of example projects created by users.

And @Ben Shaughnessy What part is confusing in the documentation? Or rather, where are you getting stuck?

Hello, thank you for the links! Currently we can't figure out how to create a new project with our own starter package. Whatever we try gives us an error message that boils down to:

Kedro project template not found at my_kedro_starter. Specified tag 0.19.10. The following tags are available: . The aliases for the official Kedro starters are:
- astro-airflow-iris
- databricks-iris
- spaceflights-pandas
- spaceflights-pandas-viz
- spaceflights-pyspark
- spaceflights-pyspark-viz

Im able to install one of these fine... but not my own. We have tried using:

kedro new --starter git+<http://github.com/username/my-repo.git>

and also tried creating a plugin.py in a local folder like:

# plugin.py
from kedro.framework.cli.starters import KedroStarterSpec

starters = [
    KedroStarterSpec(
        alias="default_ds_starter",
        template_path="<https://github.com/MY-ORG/my-kedro-starter/>",
        directory="default-starter",
    )
]

then running:

kedro new --starter default_ds_starter

which gives the same error

You need to provide the directory as well as the starter github repo path so:

kedro new --starter git+<http://github.com/username/my-repo.git> --directory default-starter

Hello, the directory works now, but I think I may have found a bug with the

--checkout

command? Im trying to

--checkout my-branch-name

which seems to successfully work with cookiecutter (the temp dir has my git repo and the correct branch) but later on in the process, I get an error saying

File "C:\Users\bshaughnessy\AppData\Local\miniconda3\envs\py311-ryi-margin-model\Lib\site-packages\kedro\framework\cli\starters.py", line 467, in _get_cookiecutter_dir
    raise KedroCliError(...)

Specified tag poc-starter. The following tags are available: . The aliases for the official Kedro starters are:
- astro-airflow-iris
- databricks-iris
- spaceflights-pandas
- spaceflights-pandas-viz
- spaceflights-pyspark
- spaceflights-pyspark-viz

with command:

kedro new --starter git@github.com:COMPANY/kedro-starter.git --directory default-starter --checkout my-branch-name --verbose

If im understanding correctly - its treating the branch name and tag name interchangeably, preventing me from using any branches (unless I name it something like

spaceflights-pandas

) This seems like a bug no?
