How to use a custom starter? about kedro-starters

We just released a new version, where you can now create an installable custom starter. Let me know if you need any help @danielgafni.

Hi @danielgafni, thanks for opening this issue! kedro-starters is unfortunately only for Kedro starters maintained by the core Kedro team - community-developed starters can live in any repository and someone can use them via

kedro new --starter git+https://github.com/user/my-kedro-starter.git

There's an open discussion on Kedro about potentially making those community-maintained starters more discoverable, perhaps through the plugin system.

Hope this helps. 🙂

One important note is that the custom starter must have a similar tagging (or branching) model as kedro-starters, meaning must have tags (or branches) with the same name as the Kedro version it's compatible with (0.17.5, 0.17.0, etc.). This is because by default kedro new -s passes --checkout=<installed-kedro-version> so that Kedro is guaranteed to work on the given template.

Hi @danielgafni, has the 0.18.2 release helped resolve your issue?

Hey guys. I'm not using kedro so can't comment on that. It seems like this release should solve this issue tho.
