Fork This / Create Your Own

If you have differences in your preferred setup, I encourage you to fork this to create your own version. Or create your own; it doesn't strictly have to be a fork.

• Once you have your own version working, add it to the Similar Cookiecutter Templates list above with a brief description.
• It's up to you whether or not to rename your fork/own version. Do whatever you think sounds good.

I also accept pull requests on this, if they're small, atomic, and if they make my own packaging experience better.
