Initializing from the Template

As an alternative to creating with npx create-typescript-app@beta, the Use this template button on GitHub can be used to quickly create a new repository from the template. You can set up the new repository locally by cloning it and installing packages:

git clone https://github.com/YourUsername/YourRepositoryName
cd YourRepositoryName
npx create-typescript-app@beta

You'll then need to manually go through the following two steps to set up tooling on GitHub:

Create two tokens in repository secrets (unless you chose to opt out of releases):
- ACCESS_TOKEN: A GitHub PAT with repo and workflow permissions
- NPM_TOKEN: An npm access token with Automation permissions
Install two GitHub apps:
- Codecov (unless you chose to opt out of tests)
- Renovate (unless you chose to opt out of renovate)

Your new repository will then be ready for development! Hooray! 🥳

Options

You can customize which pieces of tooling are provided and the options they're created with. See Options.md.

For example, skipping the "This package was templated with..." block:

npx create-typescript-app@beta --exclude-templated-with

See Blocks.md for details on the tooling pieces and which presets they're included in.
