What happened to the create-daml-app git repo?
It seems that it’s no longer maintained - says it’s archived on github? I have this set-up as my remote in a local folder, and I can’t remember whether I added this manually or whether .git was included when I ran daml new.
The reason I’m asking is that I’d like to know how to keep the quickstart up-to-date locally? Previously I could just git pull.
In fact, what got me in this situation in the first place is that when I run yarn install, I get
error Couldn't find package "@daml-ts/create-daml-app-0.1.0@0.13.55" required by "create-daml-app@0.1.0" on the "npm" registry.
And I thought I was on the most recent version of the quickstart (judging by upstream), but then I realized the repo is stale 
I humbly suggest we add .git (back into?) to the package!
The example is no longer in a separate repository. It is instead distributed as a regular template that you can get via daml new create-daml-app create-daml-app. Adding .git doesn’t really make sense since it is part of the daml repo and you clearly don’t want to clone the whole repository.
As for keeping quickstart up2date, I think your best option is to delete the directory and rerun daml new create-daml-app create-daml-app.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

daml new create-daml-app create-daml-app.
That’s what I was trying to avoid
but oh well … I suppose it will be less of an issue going forward when it stabilizes.
Also happy to take suggestions on how to make the transition more visible to people visiting the create-daml-app repo. I have already added a blurb at the top of the page and at the top of the README; please advise on how to clarify those or what else I should add.
The only thing I can suggest is to add a link into the main daml repo. But I think that as it stabilizes this will become less of an issue. The last month it was being updated regularly so that’s why this was a bit of a thing for me … but hopefully that won’t be the case going forward.
Just having tripped over this today (1), I was thinking, how about you delete all content of the README except for a note where the contents of this repo has moved to?
Done. I’ve also removed the template tag at the GitHub level so people won’t be tricked into starting from that either.
