Script to turn web-boilerplate into a new repo

[OzoneTank]

Why?

• Wouldn't life be easier if you didn't have to run all those pesky commands and could just run a single script

What Changed?

• Made a script that does most of the init steps
  • Changes README
  • Creates a master branch and pushes it to new repo url
  • Script deletes itself on finishing the job
• Updated README to let people know of init shell script

Hmm. I like the idea of building up a readme for the new project. I think a better way to do it though would be to have a README_TEMPLATE.md file, that you copy into place with rm README.md && mv README_TEMPLATE.md README.md

@dkniffin Is there an easy to interpolate values like this in markdown? I really like the idea of building the readme like this where we can set stuff like the project name

You could do something with sed https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/159367/using-sed-to-find-and-replace

The reason I kept it in the script itself was so that there's less cleanup if you didn't go with the script. I considered writing it so that if you tried to run it after changing it away from web-boilerplate that it would just delete itself.

I'm wondering why anyone would actually want to do this manually, now that we have a script

[OzoneTank]

good point.

[dkniffin]

I think what is your PROJECT_NAME? should be in quotes. It's weird to see a string like that without quotes.

I think a better title here would be "Manual steps"
