Hi. Having never used cookiecutter before I found the tutorial very helpful.
I did get lost at one point due to storing cookiecutter.json as HelloCookieCutter1/{{cookiecutter.directory_name}}/cookiecutter.json instead of HelloCookieCutter1/cookiecutter.json.
Your tutorial is quite explicit that cookiecutter.json should go in HelloCookieCutter1/, but it still seems a simple mistake to make. cookiecutter itself gave a relatively uninformative error message:
Received error: A valid repository for "HelloCookieCutter1/" could not be found in the following locations: HelloCookieCutter1/ /home/ah327h/.cookiecutters/HelloCookieCutter1/
I was wondering whether you could put words to the effect of
The directory structure of our
cookiecutter
template should now look like this:HelloCookieCutter1
- cookiecutter.json
- {{cookiecutter.directory_name}}
- {{cookiecutter.file_name}}.py
into the tutorial just before the line "Now we can actually run Cookiecutter and create a new project from our template..."
Happy to submit a PR if you agree. Russ

cookiecutter has integrated with a git submodule, so we'd still need to make improvements in this repo (or move the tutorial into the cookiecutter repo).
