• Generic Python app code in pyproject, with sample tests in tests.
• Sample documentation.
• Makefile for running make commands (for macOS and Linux).
• Requirements files for prod packages and dev packages, installed with pip using make commands.
• Code quality checks - flake8, pylint, mypy (type checking), and pytest, including make commands and configs for each.
• Git push hooks, to run checks on pushing.
