Tip

Since the 0.15.0 update you can use zig init -m to get a minimal template!

Template Zig

A barebones zig application template, for zig stable releases.

Usage

• Click Use this template -> Create new repository and create a repo.
• Change the .name and version inside build.zig.zon to whatever you want. (Changing the .name field also invalidates the .fingerprint value)
• Run zig build to generate a new .fingerprint value, replace the old value with the new one.
• Make your app!

Older templates

Because GitHub templates don't have any versioning scheme, older templates are available as branches

• Tick Include all branches box when creating your repository
• Switch the default branch to the version you want
• Rename the branch to main/master
• Remove other branches
