One reason for this could be that there is more than one right way of doing things. Usually, your boilerplate will cover the initial functionalities of your application, such as user schema, sign-in, and registration.

git remote remove originJump to your working directory:
cd jobboardInstall all dependencies:
npm installCreate a development configuration file:
cp config/environments/example.js config...
