You can create ports using [this](https://github.com/catppuccin/template) public template as a blueprint. However, you must **not** create it the traditional way (by clicking **Use this template**), because this leaves a _small_ tag under the repos' name that says `generated from <template>`. To avoid this, follow the instructions below:
1. Create the repo and leave it empty
2. Add this template as a remote: `git remote add template git@github.com:catppuccin/template.git`
3. Pull from it: `git pull template main --depth=1`
4. Delete the remote: `git remote remove template`
1. Create the repo and leave it empty:
```
mkdir name_of_your_port
cd name_of_your_port
git init
```
2. Add this template as a remote:
```
git remote add template https://github.com/catppuccin/template.git
```
3. Pull from it:
```
git pull template main --depth=1
```
4. Delete the remote:
```
git remote remove template
```
5. When pushing, you might get the error message:
```
! [remote rejected] main -> main (shallow update not allowed)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/<user>/<port>.git'
```
To fix it, please use `git push --force` on the first push to your user repository.
