I probably won't get to this today so if someone else wants to work on it, that'd be great!
Edit: created checklist from issue title, shortened title
I updated gatsby-starter-default to v2.
Please create v2 branch to gatsby-starter-default repository to make pull request.
https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default/compare/master...mottox2:v2?expand=1
@mottox2 I just created a v2 branch: https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby-starter-default/tree/v2
Thank you!
Note - gatsby new can parse branch names, so you can install v2 versions of starters. Check out the v2 tutorial for an example of this.
A link to that tutorial: https://next.gatsbyjs.org/tutorial/part-one/#install-the-hello-world-starter
This work is done. Thanks for everyone's help!
