github-repo-template

A minimal GitHub repository template from @open-templates. Community docs, Dependabot, CODEOWNERS, and issue/PR scaffolding — no application code until you add it.

Quick start

1. Click Use this template on GitHub.
2. Clone and copy personalized files from templates/:

git clone https://github.com/open-templates/github-repo-template.git my-new-repo
cd my-new-repo
./scripts/init-from-template.sh

The hosted repo keeps @open-templates branding in root markdown until you run init. See docs/init-from-template.md.

GitHub automation (included)

File	Purpose
.github/dependabot.yml	Dependency update PRs
.github/workflows/dependabot-signature.yml	Co-authored-by via github.repository_owner at runtime
.github/CODEOWNERS	Review ownership
