Help me choose
Start with what you want to make. This chooser suggests a starting point and a Copier command. You can change the template's other settings when Copier asks.
The chooser needs JavaScript. You can also choose your stacks in the usage guide or use the GitHub quick start.
Start with the static site guide
The template offers a plain HTML page or an Astro site alongside a project. The static site guide explains those choices and hosting.
Files to start with
Create the project
Install the tools listed in the GitHub quick start. Create a new, empty directory and initialise Git there:
mkdir my-project
cd my-project
git initRun this command inside that directory:
The command uses the latest released template. Copier asks for the remaining details, including the project owner and author. A web app also asks what user data it keeps. Choose advanced settings in Copier if you need different defaults.
Run the first checks
First, complete the Development setup in your generated README. It installs the extra tools your project needs. Then run these commands in order:
Follow the generated README for setup and deployment. A web app's Cloudflare deployment needs account configuration; creating the files does not deploy it.
Advanced settings and other combinations
This chooser covers one main task at a time. Copier also supports multiple stacks, nested packages, publishing and optional checks. The question reference explains the full set of settings.
For an existing repository, use the adoption guides before rendering over its files.
