I’ve been working on preparing a template repository for GitHub trying to follow some recommendations and best practices to build sustainable projects.
The repository currently provides some indications (and templates) for:
Project Description
Contributing guidelines
Code of Conduct
Governance rules
License
Code owners in your project
Templates for your issues/pull requests
Security policy
Fundings file
Citation
The objective is to provide a nice scaffolding solution for any project. Developers would only have to use the repository as template and adapt and fill the gaps in the templates.
thanks a lot! those indications & checklist are quite useful to guide the writing of readmes. I’ll review it to see how to enrich our proposal, thanks again!
