Post Repository Creation Checklist

After you either generated a new repo from an GitHub template or duplicated it, you need to configure encrypted secrets for GitHub Actions, update contact links, and install Mergify, among other things.

TL;DR

Here's the gist of what you do as a new template maintainer:

• Install Mergify on your account/org. We're working on an GitHub Action workflow if you don't prefer to use Mergify instead.
• Configure encrypted secrets for Docker Hub, RHQCR (the public instance on https://quay.io) and GHCR
• Adjust GitHub repository settings, and optionally update sponsor links.

Step 1: Installing Mergify

Transferring to or has repo creation permissions in code-server-boilerplates org? Skip this step, since we installed that GitHub app across the org.

Otherwise, install the app in an account/org where your template is. If you don't want to install the app across all repos, select Only select repositories and manually add that repo before hitting Install.
