`cookiecutter` creates two folders in the home dir: - `~/.cookiecutters ` - `~/.cookiecutter_replay` The relevant issue on the project is closed: https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter/issues/104 The discussion in that issue is not clear enough for me to tell if there is a short-term workaround. I don't expect to use `cookiecutter` regularly, but I thought I'd file an issue here before I forget.
