In https://www.drupal.org/docs/official_docs/en/_local_development_guide.html we provide a command to use composer to install Drupal:

composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev --stability dev --no-interaction $SITE_NAME

As of Drupal core 8.8 there's a new drupal/recommended-project composer template. And while drupal-composer/drupal-project still works we should probably recommend the official one in this guide.

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project $SITE_NAME

Here's a patch to update to the new command.

I wonder if we should also create a new 8.x-8.x-dev branch of this guide since these changes are specific to Drupal ^8.8?

Patch in #2 looks good to me.

Thanks @Amber Himes Matz.

I create a new 8.x-8.x branch of this project, and committed this patch to that branch.
