README

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

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.
