Create a Lesson Template
Lessons often have common starting points. If you're going to make lessons in bulk, it helps to create templates so you don't waste time setting them up over and over.
John Lindquist: [0:00] Go to CodeSandbox and create a Sandbox. Pick the type of lesson idea you have, mine will be Vanilla. Then we'll create a GitHub repo from this template by signing in with GitHub, forking the Sandbox. I guess I have to sign in again.
[0:12] Now I'm going to name my repo vanilla-template. Hit Create Repository. Then over on GitHub under my account, you'll see a repo called vanilla-template, which was created with CodeSandbox. If I grab the link to clone this, copy that, and go into my terminal, I can use a tool called degit.
[0:29] Then I'll paste my link and then name my lesson. Let's call it lesson-name. Hit Enter. That cloned my project into a lesson-name directory but removed all of the Git information. You can see all of the files, but I can still git init this to start working on a project which will work perfectly on CodeSandbox.
