I don't think you can create an "empty commit". Perhaps one should do this?

touch .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m init
git push -u upstream main

I think more specific instructions are due here. Specifically, the process of changing a remote from origin to upstream after cloning it, adding your fork as a clone, checking out a branch named "prototype" and creating a PR for that.

So I just took some time and wrote up a step by step guide on how to create a new project based on this outline. I was wondering where the best place is to post it?

Should I fork and submit a PR from todtb-patch-1?
Create my own fork and PR into main?
Should we utilize the WIKI for documentation?

Create my own fork and PR into main?

Yeah, I guess it can't hurt to follow that practice even on the meta repo

Should we utilize the WIKI for documentation?

I like that idea! I think there's still value in the meta repo for documentation that doesn't apply strictly to a codebase, but I'm open to trying it out. I guess it could be the wiki on this repo too.

I will PR for now but I too think there should be a place for random documentation. Something everyone can reference when they get started. Ill open an issue for discussion.
