The new-repo project is a default template for .NET Foundation projects. It's also probably a fine start for other .NET projects (have at it, but change the license). It contains the correct license, a decent README, and initial project structure (including a standard .gitignore for the Visual Studio family of products).
You can learn more about the project from the project Documentation.
You can simply git clone this project to get started. It is recommended that you don't preserve history of the project (it isn't generally meaningful) for your repo, but make a copy and git init your project from source.
Consult CHECKLIST.md for helpful suggestions on preparing your repo to go public.
You don't "build" New Repo, however, this will be meaningful for many other projects.
