Template that I use to create the initial commit of my projects.
Initial files added to my first commit.
- .gitattributes: normalize all text files. Be careful when using with binary files.
- .gitignore: default files ignored in my development environment.
- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.md: sample acknowledgments of third-party software used by the project.
- CHANGELOG.md: simple changelog for this project that can be used as a sample.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: general guidelines on how to contribute to the project.
- LICENSE.md: license information initially restricting access to everything in the project.
- README.md: project introduction similar to a Getting Started.
All commit messages are based on Conventional Commits. Example of the first commit used to initialize a new repository:
