can anyone share a template of beginning of do file?

[Yao Zhao]

Currently, I just have three lines at the beginning of my do file. What do you think?

clear *
use "xxx.dta"
cd "xxx"

[Martin Luther Gamboa]

*Date*
set more off
*Maybe the general purpose of the do file (this may get longer as the do file does)*

[Sven-Kristjan Bormann]

There is no general template for the beginning of a do-file. It all depends on what you want to record within the do-file. So you should explain what exactly you want to do instead of asking for a general template.
Some people would start every do-file with lines similar to this

capture log close
log using task_`=c(current_date)'_`=c(current_time)'.log ,replace text
... tasks

log close
