Description

While working on a new header-only library from this skeleton (gzip), wasn't completely sure how we want to suggest creating a separate library when using this skeleton as a foundation. This ticket is also relevant to the workflow we'll want to suggest when using node-cpp-skel.

### Possibilities
- Fork: If we suggesting forking, there should be a easy way to remove skel's github history to start from scratch and create a completely separate copy with its own history.
- Branch: There would be no intention of merging custom code/a separate lib into master, so this doesnt seem like the right way to go.
- ?

I'll do a bit more research on how other projects/developers have done this.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the fork and branch possibilities described in the issue and the current repository workflow, then document a decided approach for creating a separate header-only library with its own history; done means the recommended workflow and cleanup steps are clear.
