Nomic Foundation repository template

This is a template with some basic workflows and files that can be used by new and existing repos. There is a related project template that is connected to this repo.

How to use this template

1. Create a new repository with the "Use this template" button
2. Create a new GitHub project in the org
3. Generate a Personal Access Token with repo and project permissions. Use the "Classic" tokens because the new tokens don't support organization-scoped permissions at the time of writing this.
4. Add a secret to the repository named ADD_TO_PROJECT_PAT with the token you created in the previous step.
5. Open the add-issue-to-project.yml file and replace the project-url value with the URL of the project created in step 2.
6. Change the content of the issue templates according to the project needs. New projects might work well enough with blank issues; in that case, just delete that directory.

Workflows

The repo contains two automation workflows:

• add-issue-to-project.yml adds every new issue and pull request to the configured project
• add-label-to-new-issue.yml adds the status:triaging label to all new issues and pull requests, unless they already have a label that starts with status:. This means that issues created by external users will get this label, but without affecting issues opened by repo owners that set a status during creation.

Labels

The related GitHub project relies on certain labels being used in the issue tracker. This repo comes with a basic set of labels for that purpose, but each project can add new ones according to its needs.
