In each project you start you need to create and install same files and modules as were in the previous one: configs, linters, dev packages. Maybe you have some saved gists so you go and copy them each time into new projects. It’s tiring and slow…
You create boilerplate repo (on GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, your own...whatever you want!) with files and packages that aren’t being changed. Next you save a starter simple writing custom-starter add providing a name and url to the repo. Use it next time you start some project. It clones all files to the current project and installs all packages if package.json exists. You can add as many boilerplate repos as you want.
npm install -g custom-starter
