is a "special repository" which contains "default files"
This repository has to be public for the "default file" mechanism to work!
Every change to this repository has to be approved by two team members, since it has an impact on the whole organization.
This file is used to prefill the pull request description in any repository that doesn't define an own template.
there are more options for "default files"
that are independent of other things, have a dedicated scope and are used in many repositories.
They are not picked up as "default files" by GitHub, so they need to be copied manually to use them.
More complex shared configuration/set of files like
- https://github.com/bettermarks/renovate-config (public)
- @bettermarks/browserslist-config-bettermarks 🔒
- @bettermarks/eslint-config 🔒
- @bettermarks/semantic-release-configs 🔒
- ...you name it...
or GitHub actions/workflows go into their own (public of private) repository!
