Codebase Governor Repository Templates support

Codebase Governor can now help you create new repositories based on existing templates.

Let’s dive into an example – you’ve added my-template-repo.yml to the capability with the following configuration:

is-template: true

This allows the repository to serve as a template for creating new repositories.

Why?

You use GitHub repositories to store your code, and having a standardized way of setting up new repositories can save you time and reduce errors. With Codebase Governor, you can now define a template repository and use it to create new repositories with the same configuration.

For example, let’s say you have a repository called my-template-repo that you want to use as a template for creating new repositories. You can add the following configuration to a new repository configuration file:

using-template: my-template-repo

This will create the new repository with the same configuration as my-template-repo. The new repository will be created will have the same structure and settings as the template repository.

Benefits

Using templates in Codebase Governor provides several benefits, including:

• Standardization: You can ensure that all your repositories have the same configuration and settings.
• Time-saving: Creating new repositories from a template saves you time and reduces errors.
• Consistency: Your repositories will be consistent across your organization, making it easier to manage and maintain them.
