 ## Getting started
 
-Start by clicking "Use this template" at https://github.com/emilk/eframe_template/ or follow [these instructions](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template).
-
-Change the name of the crate: Choose a good name for your project, and change the name to it in:
-* `Cargo.toml`
-    * Change the `package.name` from `eframe_template` to `your_crate`.
-    * Change the `package.authors`
-* `main.rs`
-    * Change `eframe_template::TemplateApp` to `your_crate::TemplateApp`
-* `index.html`
-    * Change the `<title>eframe template</title>` to `<title>your_crate</title>`. optional.
-* `assets/sw.js`
-  * Change the `'./eframe_template.js'` to `./your_crate.js` (in `filesToCache` array)
-  * Change the `'./eframe_template_bg.wasm'` to `./your_crate_bg.wasm` (in `filesToCache` array)
-
-Alternatively, you can run `fill_template.sh` which will ask for the needed names and email and perform the above patches for you. This is particularly useful if you clone this repository outside GitHub and hence cannot make use of its
-templating function.
+If you don't have [`cargo-generate`](https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate) installed yet, install it with:
+
+```sh
+cargo install cargo-generate

+
+Then create a project by running:
