+# How to use this template
+
+## Create a project based on this repository using the GitHub user interface
+
+In a nutshell, locate and click the

+![use-this-template](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/605483/59144259-8130a900-89d5-11e9-8916-6762b6a2d225.png)
+
+button above, then clone the newly created repository to make desired changes locally.
+
+:bulb: Take a look at [Bryn Jackson](https://github.blog/author/superbryntendo/)'s post [Generate new repositories with repository templates](https://github.blog/2019-06-06-generate-new-repositories-with-repository-templates/) on the [GitHub Blog](https://github.blog) for further details.
+
+## Create a project based on this repository using `composer`
+
+As an alternative to creating a new project based on this repository using the GitHub UI, since this package has been submitted to [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/localheinz/php-library-template), you can run
+
+```
+$ composer create-project localheinz/php-library-template ~/Sites/your-user-name/your-repository-name
+```
+
+to create a new project based on the `master` branch of this repository in the directory `~/Sites/your-user-name/your-repository-name`.
+
+:bulb: Take a look at [Command-line interface: create-project](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#create-project) to understand the `composer create-project` command and its options.
+
+:bulb: Personally, I like to organize my projects by vendor directory, so for example, my `~/Sites` directory looks a bit similar to this:
+
+```
+.
+├── composer
+│   ├── composer
+│   └── packagist
+├── fzaninotto
+│   └── Faker
+├── infection
+│   ├── infection
+│   └── site
+├── localheinz
+│   ├── composer-normalize
+│   ├── json-normalizer
+│   ├── json-printer
+│   ├── localheinz.com
+└── sebastianbergmann
+    ├── diff
+    ├── environment
+    └── phpunit
+```
+
+Of course you can store your projects wherever you want.
+
+When asked whether you want to remove the existing VCS history, confirm, since you want to start a new project with a fresh history.
+
+Next, change into the directory
+
+```
+$ cd ~/Sites/your-user-name/your-repository-name
+```
+
+initialize a new Git repository
+
+```
+$ git init
+```
+
+add your remote
+
+```
+$ git remote add origin git@github.com:your-user-name/your-repository-name.git
+```
+
+:exclamation: Before you add, commit, and push your files to the remote, make sure to adjust the project-specific files.
+
+## Adjust project-specific files
+
+### GitHub
+
+#### Code owners
+
+If you want to define individuals or teams responsible for code in the newly created repository, adjust [`.github/CODEOWNERS`](.github/CODEOWNERS) by replacing `localheinz` with the appropriate username:
+
+```diff
+diff --git a/.github/CODEOWNERS b/.github/CODEOWNERS
+index 64bf50c..a8dabe5 100644
+--- a/.github/CODEOWNERS
++++ b/.github/CODEOWNERS

++* @your-username
+```
+
+If you do not want to define code owners, remove [`.github/CODEOWNERS`](.github/CODEOWNERS).
+
+:bulb: Take a closer look at [About code owners](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-code-owners) to understand the format of the configuration file.
+
+#### Contributing Guidelines
+
+Adjust [`github/CONTRIBUTING.md`](github/CONTRIBUTING.md) to your needs if you do not want to use all of the development tools.
+
+:bulb: Take a closer look at [Setting guidelines for repository contributors](https://help.github.com/en/articles/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors) to understand the purpose of this file.
+
+#### Funding
+
+If you want to allow users to fund your project, adjust [`github/FUNDING.yml`](github/FUNDING.yml) by replacing `localheinz` with the appropriate username(s), and remove or add additional funding options:
+
+```diff
+diff --git a/.github/FUNDING.yml b/.github/FUNDING.yml

+### Integrations
+
+#### Dependabot
+
+If you want to use [Dependabot](https://dependabot.com), adjust [`dependabot/config.yml`](.dependabot/config.yml) by replacing `localheinz` with the appropriate username:

+
+> **WARNING**: Note that this integration _inherently escalates anyone with push permissions to the **admin** role_, since they can push config settings to the `master` branch, which will be synced. In the future, we may add restrictions to allow changes to the config file to be merged only by specific people/teams, or those with admin access _(via a combination of protected branches, required statuses, and branch restrictions)_. Until then, use caution when merging PRs and adding collaborators.
