Open Source Software is not about the code in the first place but the communications and community. People love good documentation and obvious workflows. If your software solves some problem, but nobody can figure out how to use it or, for example, how to create an effective bug report, there's something very bad going on. Did you hear about Readme Driven Development? Check out the awesome artice written by GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner.
There are many great README or issues templates available on GitHub, however, you have to find them yourself and combine different templates yourself. In addition, if you want extensive docs like CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md or even advanced GitHub features like pull request template, additional labels, code scanning, and automatic issues/PRs closing and locking you have to do much work. Your time should be focused on creating something amazing. You shouldn't be doing the same tasks over and over like creating your GitHub project template from scratch. Follow the don’t repeat yourself principle. So just use the template and go create something amazing!
This project is the result of huge research. I'm a long-time GitHub user so I've seen more than 7.3k READMEs so far. I've started writing docs for my open source projects (that are currently in their early stages so they exist in the private space for now). After I've analyzed many popular GitHub READMEs and other GitHub-related docs and features I've tried to create a general-propose template that may be useful for any project.
