Making a brand new project

[lsfernandes92]

Hello! Firstly, I apologize if this isn't the appropriate place to post this query, as it's more of a question than an issue. I chose to post it here as it might also be a query for others.

I'd like to inquire whether it's possible to initiate a completely new project using some of your files as a template. My intention was to fork your repository and utilize it as a template for my personal projects. Specifically, I'm considering creating a new API-only project using the rails new command with the --api flag. It would be beneficial if I could leverage some of your files to kickstart this new API project of mine.

Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the question. This project can be used as a Repository template with this link https://github.com/ryanwi/rails7-on-docker/generate

More about templates here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template

Creating with a template is similar to a fork, just starting fresh instead.

However, then you'd have to convert it to an api-only app. That shouldn't be too bad, probably some guides out there. (slightly outdated https://hashrocket.com/blog/posts/how-to-make-rails-5-api-only)

I'll try it in a branch this week and see if that helps.
