Template repository feature

[ddalcino]

A couple of weeks ago, Github added a 'template repository' feature. Here's a blog post about it. When I first heard about it, I thought of this project, since this project is meant to be a reusable project template.

I enabled the template repository feature on my fork, if you'd like to see what it looks like. The template feature adds a big green button labelled 'Use this template', and when you click it, it lets you make a new repository on your account that's pre-populated with all the files in the template repository. To me, it seems less messy than git clone <cpp_starter_prj> && rm -rf .git && git init && git add -A && git remote add origin <new_repo> && oh noes i forgot something or made a mistake.

To enable the feature, all you have to do is click on 'Settings' and then click the box labelled 'Template Repository'. I would make a pull request, but this is a Github setting and not something you can commit.

Looks like the template feature is enabled now, so it's time to close the issue! Thanks!
