The template can use the following three types:

## example 
$ create-custom-react-app -t likun7981/test-git test-remote-project

• Global npm package like Yeoman, the prefix is react-app-template-<customname>, example:

# Install the template with global 
$ npm install -g react-app-template-simple
 
$ create-custom-react-app -t simple test-global-npm-package-project

• Local path template, example

⚠️ Note: relative local path must start with ., example ./relative-path instead of relative-path

$ create-custom-react-app -t relative-or-absolute-local-path test-local-path-project

Create template

It is recommended that you customize the template on the basis of the official template

1. Create official template

$ create-custom-react-app react-app-template-custom-name

1. Do what you want to do with the template
2. You can publish to npm, push to git or save locally, after it you can simple init it a project use create-custom-react-app

⚠️ Note: The .gitignore file must rename to gitignore, you can see
1.https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/1862
2.https://qurl.com/5ysyl

Custom config

You can use react-app-rewired to custom config, more config package you can see react-app-rewire-contrib

Why

Because we want to customize the template, but you don't want to change create-react-app all the time.
