How to Spin Up a Project Structure with Cookiecutter

Cookiecutter is an open-source, language-agnostic tool for creating project templates to standardize and accelerate project setup. The workflow involves defining variables in a `cookiecutter.json` file and creating a folder structure with placeholder files that use these variables. When a user runs the tool, it prompts them for the defined variables and then generates a new, complete project structure with the provided values automatically filled in. The guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on installing Cookiecutter, creating a template for a Streamlit ML application, and using it to spin up a new project. This tooling helps overcome procrastination by turning the tedious task of project setup into a quick and efficient process.
