How do you manage your Craft 'starting point'?
I have a Craft boilerplate installed on my local machine - like a self-contained website with all the stuff I use on every project (I also keep my front-end framework in here).

When I start a new project:


Duplicate the boilerplate site folder
Create an entry in MAMP
Delete the .git folder
Duplicate the local database for the new site (SequalPro, Navicat)
Delete /craft/config/license.key


Bingo, new site is ready to go with all the fields and front end stuff I need for a new project.
