Change repository to template #32

Closed kequach closed 2 years ago

kequach commented 2 years ago

Having a quick look at this repository it seems to me that this could be marked as a template. How you can do this is described here: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-template-repository You can take a look at SWORDS for example to see how this would look like. If you need help, please feel free to reach out.

Thanks for the suggestion, but GitHub repository templates do not cover all of our needs. We use Cookiecutter, which goes beyond just providing a fixed set of files. It interpolates values inside files based on customizable parameters, generates files conditionally and enables us to run pre- and post-generation setup code.
