You can initialize your projects using any of our pre-made template repositories.
A template is a starting point for building your project. It should help you get a project ready for production.
You can click the Deploy on Platform.sh button to launch a new project using a template, or you can visit and clone the repository and push to an empty project you have created using the CLI or in the Console.
