-# python-template
-A boilerplate for fresh Python projects containing the most necessary parts.
+# Python Template
+
+A minimal boilerplate for starting new Python projects with a consistent development setup.
+
+Included by default:
+
+* Python 3.14+
+* `uv` for dependency and environment management
+* `ruff` for linting and formatting
+* `mypy` for static type checking
+* `pytest` for testing
+* `pre-commit` for automated checks
+* GitHub Actions CI
+* `.env` support
+* `src/` project layout
 
 ## Requirements
- - Python 3.14+
- - uv
 
- ## Setup
- ```bash
+Make sure the following are installed:
+
+* Python 3.14+
+* [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Create a new repository from this template, then clone it locally.
+
+Install the project dependencies:
+
+```bash
 uv sync
+```
+
+Install the pre-commit hooks:
+
+```bash
 uv run pre-commit install
+```
+
+Create your local environment file:
+
+```bash
 cp .env.example .env
+```
 
- ```
+The `.env` file is ignored by Git and should be used for local secrets and configuration.
 
-Update in pyproject.toml:
-- [project.scripts]
+## Configure the Project
 
-    app = "project_name.main:main"
+Before starting development, update the project-specific values in `pyproject.toml`.
 
-- [project]
+### Project metadata
 
-    name = "project-name"
+Update:
 
-    version = "0.1.0"
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "project-name"
+version = "0.1.0"
+description = "Short project description"
+```
 
-    description = "Short project description"
+### Package name
 
-## Development
-Run the application
-```bash
+The default package lives under:
 
-uv run python -m project_name.main
+```text
+src/project_name/
+```
+
+Rename `project_name` to match your project.
+
+Remember to update any references to `project_name` in:
+
+* `pyproject.toml`
+* `tests/`
+* CI or tooling configuration, if applicable
+
+### Application command
+
+The template exposes an application command through:
+
+```toml
+[project.scripts]
+app = "project_name.main:main"
 ```
-or
+
+After renaming the package, update it accordingly:
+
+```toml
+[project.scripts]
+app = "awesome_app.main:main"
+```
+
+This maps:
+
 ```bash
+uv run app
+```
+
+to the `main()` function inside:
 
+```text
+src/awesome_app/main.py
+```
+
+## Running the Application
+
+The recommended way to run the project is:
+
+```bash
 uv run app
+```
+
+You can also run the module directly:
 
+```bash
+uv run python -m project_name.main
 ```
 
-Run tests:
+Replace `project_name` with your actual package name.
+
+## Development
+
+### Run tests
 
 ```bash
 uv run pytest
 ```
 
-Lint:
+### Lint
 
 ```bash
 uv run ruff check .
 ```
 
-Format:
+Automatically fix supported lint issues:
+
+```bash
+uv run ruff check . --fix
+```
+
+### Format
 
 ```bash
 uv run ruff format .
 ```
 
-Type check:
+### Type check
 
 ```bash
 uv run mypy src tests
 ```
 
-Run all pre-commit checks:
+### Run all pre-commit checks
 
 ```bash
 uv run pre-commit run --all-files
 ```
 
+Pre-commit hooks also run automatically when committing after:
+
+```bash
+uv run pre-commit install
+```
+
+## Adding Dependencies
+
+Add a runtime dependency:
+
+```bash
+uv add <package>
+```
+
+Add a development dependency:
+
+```bash
+uv add --dev <package>
+```
+
+`uv` automatically updates both `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock`.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Put local environment variables in:
+
+```text
+.env
+```
