- Add minimal template positioned after default-sql in CLI selection - Provides only essential infrastructure: databricks.yml, pyproject.toml, README, empty src/ and resources/ directories, and basic test setup - Welcome message emphasizes this is for advanced users and recommends default-python/default-sql for those getting started - Template reuses default template structure via "template_dir": "../default" - Equivalent to default-python when answering "no" to all sample content prompts - Renderer improvements: preserve empty directories without needing .gitkeep files Users need a clean starting point for building bundles from scratch without sample code getting in the way. Advanced users know what they want to build and don't need the training wheels of sample notebooks and pipelines. - All template acceptance tests pass, including new default-minimal tests - Verified template instantiation creates correct directory structure 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Updates the default-minimal template to be fully consistent with the default-python template structure: - Remove project_name_short property (not used in minimal template) - Fix property order numbering (1-10) to match default-python - Update property descriptions to match default-python exactly - Improve welcome message: "For getting started with Python or SQL code..." - Add // comments to hidden properties for clarity - Fix default_catalog to use hive_metastore fallback like default-python These changes ensure users have a consistent experience across all default templates while maintaining the minimal template's purpose of providing a clean starting point without sample code. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
When templates have no Python package directory (include_python=no AND no jobs/pipelines, OR lakeflow_only=yes), hatch cannot automatically detect what to build. This causes 'uv run pytest' to fail with build errors: "Unable to determine which files to ship inside the wheel using the following heuristics: <https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/plugins/builder/wheel/#default-file-selection>" Add conditional [tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel] configuration with packages = ["src"] when $has_python_package_dir is false. This matches the same logic used in __preamble.tmpl to determine directory structure. The fix applies to: - default-minimal template (no sample code) - lakeflow-pipelines templates (SQL-only, no Python packages) This ensures 'uv run pytest' works correctly in all template variants. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Changes
Adds a new
default-minimaltemplate for advanced users who want a clean slate without sample code:default-minimalwhich inherits from thedefaulttemplate, just likedefault-python.gitkeepfiles insrc/andresources/)uv run pytesterror shown for projects that don't have asrc/<package>directoryWhy
Advanced customers and non-ETL customers (like @fjakobs) indicated they want an "empty" or "minimal" project template where they don't need to delete sample code. Rather than answering "no" to all questions in
default-python, this gives them something more intentional.Tests
