Setup

Initializing Git

1. Create a new empty GitHub repository (with no content!)
2. Clone this repository locally into a new (temporary) folder
3. Change the origin of the cloned repo so that points to the newly created empty GitHub repo (see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2432764/how-do-i-change-the-uri-url-for-a-remote-git-repository)
4. The newly created GitHub repo should now contain the contents of this template, you can remove the temporary fodler now
