Maya Python Project Template

A starting point for anyone writing Python tools in Maya. You get a repo that already knows how to test itself, check its own code, build docs, and produce a tool users install by dragging a file into Maya.

No prior GitHub Actions or packaging knowledge needed; each page explains what a piece does and why you'd care.

Start here

1. Create your project: make the repo and clone it.
2. Project layout: what all these files are.
3. Writing your tool: where your code goes and how to run it in Maya.

Then, when you need them:

• Testing: checking your tool still works.
• Automatic checks: what happens when you push code.
• Releasing: shipping a version people can install.
• Documentation: this site, for your project.
