skeleton-app
============

[](#skeleton-app)

A default set-up to quickly start a new PHP application

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a new project with Composer:

```
composer create-project -s dev basje/skeleton-app
```

The `-s dev` part is temporary while I am working towards a somewhat usable first version.

When asked `Do you want to remove the existing VCS (.git, .svn..) history? [Y,n]?`, please type `Y`. This will remove all references to this repository and you will be able to start your own clean project. You can optionally create a new git repo with `git init`, or use your own prefered version control system.
