Ability to use source template path in tasks section

Sorry for opening so many feature requests, but it’s so you have them on your radar. 😅

The tasks section allows you to write scripts in a YAML file. That can be useful for short scripts, but if you need something serious, it becomes uncomfortable.

If there were some var such as [[ source_dir ]] then I could use tasks such as:

# copier.yml
_exclude:
  - post-clone*
_tasks:
  - pip install "[[ source_dir ]]/post-clone-dependencies.txt"
  - "[[ source_dir ]]/post-clone.py"

No aplogizes. As I have said I am thankful for every feedback. So keep your issues flowing…

Maybe, although if what you need is to execute something from the template, be aware that the _src_path there points to the original source (eg. the git url), not to the local temporary copy. You’d probably need the temporary copy path if you want to execute a script from there.
