Build the repo for the new module

[Martimiz]

Hi,
Maybe document a few extra comments on how to build a brandnew repo for the newly created module? Because it basically still starts out as your repo :-)

Here's how I did it - might not be the best way, so please have a look, comments are welcome.

I started by creating an empty repo on Github

1. adapted Licence and Readme
2. uncommented node_modules and mapfiles in .gitignore
3. removed setup.php and setup.json (and yarn.lock :))
4. removed .git
5. did a git init
6. git remote add origin https://github.com/Martimiz/my-repo
7. did the initial commit
8. pushed to origin/master

If you agree I will gladly make a pulll

Thanks, I could probably expand upon the docs for that next step. A comment on your build:

uncommented node_modules and mapfiles in .gitignore

You really, really should not do this. node_modules contains the build dependencies only and is often a huge folder, ~60MB or so. This is the point of having the yarn.lock file, so that anyone can download your repo and install the dependencies themselves if they need to. Never commit your node_modules to the repo.

Hi,
Thanks for the warning, I was aware of that, but I just mistakenly took the /**/ for comments, being stupid and all, sorry :(
