<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>This product analysis discusses a Vite template that can be used to create a new project. The template provides a starting point for developers using React.js without a complete framework like Next.js, Remix, or Gatsby. It includes various features such as GitHub Action Workflows, linting, testing with Jest and React Testing Library, end-to-end testing with Cypress, and more. The installation process is straightforward, with instructions on updating project meta-information and running the app.</p>
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>GitHub repository creation</strong>: The template can be used to create a project on GitHub by using the "Use this template" button and cloning the newly created repository.</li>
<li><strong>Local project creation</strong>: Alternatively, developers can create a local project using degit.</li>
<li><strong>Project meta-information update</strong>: Developers are guided on updating the package.json file with proper values for the name, author, and license properties. They are also instructed to remove the private property if they plan to publish the app as an npm package. Additionally, the author in the LICENSE file, title in index.html, and favicon in the public directory should be changed.</li>
<li><strong>App setup clean-up</strong>: Developers are advised to clean up the README.md file after setting up the app.</li>
<li><strong>Unit testing</strong>: The template includes support for running unit tests with Jest and React Testing Library.</li>

<li><strong>Tech stack</strong>: The template is built using TypeScript and is already configured with ESLint and Prettier with Codely's configuration. It also includes Jest with React Testing Library for unit tests, Cypress with Testing Library for end-to-end tests, GitHub Action Workflows for running tests and linting on push, Makefile for standardizing project running, Sass for enhanced CSS, and editorconfig for sharing IDE config.</li>
