This is an empty template for creating TypeScript projects. It also includes ESLint and Jest.

You have two ways of creating a new project:
1. is by [forking](https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/)
2. is by [duplicating](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/duplicating-a-repository)

## Duplicating a repository

- go to your GitHub account
- create a new repository e.g. myprojects-typescript-template
- create a new repository i.e. myprojects-typescript-template
- open Git Bash
- create a bare clone of the repository
```

- remove the temporary local repository
```
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf typescript-template.git
$ rm -rf typescript-template.git/
```
- as explained above, a _bare clone_ has no working tree, your not connected to the remote repository. its just the repository data!
so, you have to clone your new remote repo to your local workspace
```
$ git clone https://github.com/_yourusername_/myprojects-typescript-template.git
```
## Why duplicating?
## Using duplicates and remotes in daily work

With [_git clone --bare_](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone) you will get all of the tags copied, local branches, no remote tracking branches. That is, all branches are copied as is, and it's set up completely independent, with no expectation of fetching again. Any remote branches (in the cloned remote) and other refs are completely ignored. Your new GitHub repository will now not be affected by changes in the initial repo, like forking, anymore.
If you interested when to use 'forking', 'duplicating' or both of them, please read about [branches and workflow](https://github.com/software-developer-org/sandbox/blob/feature/34-branches/challenge-010/00034-gitflow_summary.md).
