FAQPage Schema
How do I add GitHub workflows and CODEOWNERS files to an existing repository?

Scaffold standardized components like GitHub workflows and CODEOWNERS files directly into an existing repository using automated generation. This accelerates setup by applying vetted templates locally instead of manual file creation.

Can I generate a complete project archetype locally to bootstrap a new repository?

Yes, generating complete project archetypes locally bootstraps new repositories with a vetted structure. This jump-starts new projects by applying standardized configurations and files immediately without manual setup.

Does the cw scaffold CLI support config-driven automation for repeatable workflows?

Yes, the cw scaffold CLI supports config-driven automation alongside interactive scaffolding. This enables repeatable workflows and template generation for automated project structure creation without manual intervention.

How do I add Backstage catalog entries and Helm charts to my repo structure?

Add Backstage catalog entries and Helm charts by selecting these components during the scaffolding process. The tool applies them to your repository structure locally, ensuring standardized configuration and integration.

What is the best way to standardize repo-structure across multiple new projects?

Standardize repo-structure across multiple projects by generating project archetypes locally with a scaffolding CLI. This applies vetted structures and components like GitHub workflows consistently across repositories.
