Create a front page template and separate page for posts?

Question

I'm building a WordPress theme. I need two type of pages, one is home page which will display on www.example.com. I also need a list of all my posts on www.example.com/blog/, but I need both in one WordPress theme.

Is there the right way to use home.php or front-page.php?

If no then please suggest me the right way to solve my problem. If yes then please suggest me how can I see all my blog post list on www.example.com/blog/

Answer 1

Use the WordPress Reading settings for your posts page named blog and create a static front-page.php file for your front page in your theme.
