Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First, load this package as a project via Composer:

```
# Replace [PROJECT] with the desired name of your project directory
composer create-project itafroma/skeleton [PROJECT]
```

Remove the existing VCS history when asked: this information is specific to this repository, not your new project.

Next, modify the existing files to be specific to your new project:

- [composer.json](./composer.json)
- [LICENSE](./LICENSE)
- [README.markdown](./README.markdown)

Finally, update your project's `composer.lock`:

```
composer update
```

Now you're ready to start development and push your new project to your favorite VCS.
