Delightfully slim and light Flask is, especially with regards set-up, I found that there were some things that needed sorting out for several apps, such as logins or migrations.

There are several branches, each at different stages of progress. By doing a checkout to get the branch that you want, you can the use the rename.sh script and off you go. At that stage you'll probably want to nuke the git history too, and other files that won't be relevant to your project, such as this one.

Just the Flask "Hello World" app, with some config files.

Includes a standard base template, plus a page that uses that template. Also, a token css file.

Adds Flask-Logins. Adds a login page, and a secret page that is only visible once logged in. Does not include a database, the username and password are stored in the config file.

Adds SQLAlchemy and Alembic for migrations. Add your models, autogenerate your migration with alembic, and you're golden. Uses MySQL and PyMySQL, and init.sh creates a database and a user in MySQL. If you want to do it differently, change the configs and remove/replace the database setup from init.sh.

The init script assumes that you have python3.4 installed, and that this is what you'll be using for your project.

cd flask_boilerplate
git checkout <branch>
./init.sh
