typescript-starter VS github-docs

Let's say you want to create a new NestJS standard application from scratch but taking the full control of your dependencies, scripts and source code. Thus, you don't want to use the usual npx @nestjs/cli new command (which basically bootstraps the typescript starter project) since you wish a bare minimum app.

You don't need to use the Nest CLI if you don't want to. You can literally just create a index.ts file, use NestJS within it and run it with ts-node index.ts (though you gotta make sure you have the correct tsconfig.json)

Another option is to clone the starter repo from GitHub. Note that to install the JavaScript flavor of the starter project, we can clone this repo, but you’ll need Babel to compile vanilla JavaScript).

git clone https://github.com/nestjs/typescript-starter.git project cd project yarn yarn add -D prisma npx prisma init

In college, an English professor would ask me and other students the following question when reviewing our essays, “Where are the examples?” Developers ask the same question when reading your documentation. To write good technical writing documents, include examples that developers can see themselves implementing in their work. How can this be done? By adding examples from your product’s codebase! 🙂 Let’s look at this code snippet from my contribution to GitHub’s documentation:

Need an example? Check the GitHub docs contributing guide.

git clone https://github.com/github/docs.git 123.57s user 37.02s system 74% cpu 3:35.73 total

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/github/docs.git 3.37s user 1.83s system 35% cpu 14.521 total

Not a scientific test at all, but the second one was literally 35x faster, wall clock time.

Docs

The strange thing is that I only have this problem with github, all other websites work just fine. And even docs.github.com works fine...

A project repository typically has a license file at the top-level indicating which license the code falls under. See here for an example license file.
