# MERN Stack Template
## Description
This respository is a [MERN Stack](https://www.mongodb.com/mern-stack) Application template. It is open to use for anyone who wants to quickly get started building a [full-stack](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/what-is-full-stack-development/) web application with a [MongoDB](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/what-is-mongodb-working-and-features/) database. To start, make sure you use this repository as a template instead of simply cloning it, as this will ensure you create a new repository with a fresh commit history for your new project. After that, simply replace your personal information and project details in the appropriate locations and start building your application! This template is still a work in progress and will continue to be updated with new [npm package](https://www.w3schools.com/whatis/whatis_npm.asp) versions and syntax as needed. If you have any ideas, suggestions, or conerns about the template, feel free to submit a [pull request](https://github.com/simonanewton/mern-template/pulls) on GitHub.
