Setup an Elm project

This is how I setup a new Elm project for development.

Create a new Github repository, using the template:

explodinglabs/elm-template

For a Github Pages app, go to Settings > Pages, change Source to Branch: main and directory to /docs.

Clone the repository:

git clone ssh://git@github.com/explodinglabs/myapp
cd myapp

Replace “myapp” with the name of your app, in the README.md. Commit and push that change.

Install npm packages.

npm init
npm install --save-dev husky lint-staged elm-format elm-review elm-test sass
npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "npx elm-review"
npx husky install .husky/pre-commit

Set the title in docs/index.html. Create a favicon. Create an opengraph image.

Add the new files to the repository, commit and push.

Follow the instructions in the README to bring up the container.
