Boilerplate React Project

The intention for this project is to have a codebase that can be forked/cloned and used to easily get up and running with a React project.
The bulk of the heavy lifting here is handled by Create React App. I have just added some hooks to verify coding standards & commit messages, a suggested folder structure and scripts to deploy to github pages, as outlined by Create React App.
Much of this configuration I learnt from following Jesse Weigel and his stream on YouTube. A big shout out to freecodecamp as well.

yarn
A dependency manager for the project, that's a bit better than npm.

npm i yarn -g

More information on yarn can be found here

Optional
If you want to use create-react-app by itself, you can install that globally.

yarn add create-react-app -g

Next Steps

Moving forward, i will be adding areas for comprehensive unit and functional testing. I also want to add a suggested folder structure for using redux. I am accepting PRs for any of these :)
