After purchase, the landing page shows a Repo Access panel. This page takes you from that panel to the code sitting on your computer.
That's it. You now have read access to the private repo, including every future update.
Invites can take a minute. Refresh the boilerplate page: the panel polls your invite status and shows a direct link. If it still says pending after a few minutes, disconnect and reconnect GitHub on the same panel.
Path A (Git, recommended):
my-api at the end names your local folder. Pick anything.
Path B (no command line):
Don't download the ZIP
The green "Code → Download ZIP" button works once, but a ZIP can't receive updates. Clone with Git or GitHub Desktop so git pull (or the "Pull" button) brings every improvement we ship.
Your purchase includes lifetime updates. When we push improvements:
In GitHub Desktop that's the Pull origin button. The CHANGELOG marks anything [SECURITY] as pull-within-a-week, and [BREAKING] entries come with exact upgrade steps.
One purchase = one commercial product (plus unlimited learning projects and prototypes). Modify anything, keep your fork private, deploy anywhere. The only hard no: don't republish or resell the template itself. Your own app's code is yours. Full plain-English terms are in the repo's LICENSE file.
