Body: <p>I have setup a boilerplate for Craft sites with a homepage Single setup, plugins installed, common field types setup and a few other jobs I have to do every single time I start a new project.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if this is something I can safely turn into a CraftCMS boilerplate?</p>
  
  <p>In an ideal world it's something I'd keep in Git and when I start a new project in 3 months time or whatever it may be, I can copy this <code>project.yaml</code> into my new project and I'm an hour or so ahead of where I would be.</p>
  
  <p>I know technically I probably could, but I'd like some advice on whether this is something I should or should not be doing.</p>

  I have setup a boilerplate for Craft sites with a homepage Single setup, plugins installed, common field types setup and a few other jobs I have to do every single time I start a new project.
  
  I was wondering if this is something I can safely turn into a CraftCMS boilerplate?
  
  In an ideal world it's something I'd keep in Git and when I start a new project in 3 months time or whatever it may be, I can copy this `project.yaml` into my new project and I'm an hour or so ahead of where I would be.
  
  I know technically I probably could, but I'd like some advice on whether this is something I should or should not be doing.
