Confusing "getting started" instructions

[ryanblakeley]

Could we maybe have a 1, 2, 3, ... in the README for how to start a project using one of these boilerplates? Do you clone this repo first, or just a copy of /minimal, /basic, or /advanced? Are you supposed to install graphql-cli and then do graphql create?

Based on the README, it says go to the chosen boilerplate README. I look at minimal/README and there is nothing in the section called "Getting Started". I assume step 1 is copy that directory and run npm i. It says

yarn start or npm run start starts GraphQL server on http://localhost:4000

But npm run start fires up localhost:3000, there is no service running for me on port 4000. The browser just says "an unexpected error occurred" and there is no response from port 4000. Are there instructions somewhere that I am missing?

I have it working but the instructions are still incomplete.

These are the steps I used:

git clone git@github.com:graphql-boilerplates/react-fullstack-graphql.git
cd react-fullstack-graphql
mv minimal ../your-new-project
cd ../your-new-project
npm i
cd server
npm i
npm run start

Open a new terminal tab, move to project root, and run the frontend app:

cd ..
npm run start
