• If you're about to create medium size project and need solid base to start from
• If you're busy man, and need to save lot of time, it only takes few seconds to get your hands dirty with what really matters to you!

###It's very easy to start your own project using this seed repo:

1. Download seed.sh here: https://github.com/AbuMuslimAmr/angular-express-seed/blob/master/seed.sh
2. Place this shell script wherever you need your project on your PC
3. Grant this script executable permission, run: chmod u+x seed.sh (learn more)
4. Create a new repository on your github or bitbucket
5. Open up seed.sh using your favorite text editor, you'll need to configure a few stuff (more details in the section below).
6. Run the script and pass the address to your new repository like so: bash seed.sh https://github.com/username/myProject.git
7. TADA! you have got everything ready for you, just start getting your hands dirty.

###Sample configurations: In the very beginning of the seed.sh script you may want to change one or more of these values:

INITIAL_COMMIT_MESSAGE="Initial commit"
FIND_KEYS=('ngApp' 'other-key-word')
REPLACE_KEYS=('newNgApp' 'other-value')
