Don't clone this repository because we will use a different template.
We recommend opening the React template
using a provisioning tool like Codespaces (recommended) or Gitpod. Alternatively, you can clone the GitHub repository on your local computer using the git clone
command.
This is the repository you need to open or clone:

⚠ You will need to have Node.js installed if you do it locally, but all of that is already installed on Codespaces or Gitpod!
