FAQPage Schema

How do I auto-configure GitHub issue templates and workflows for a new repository?▼

You can auto-configure GitHub templates by running a generation script at your project root to populate the .github directory. This creates issue templates, PR templates, labels, and labeler workflows to standardize your contribution processes automatically.

What GitHub configuration files do I need to standardize pull requests and issues?▼

Standardizing pull requests and issues requires configuration files under the .github directory, including bug-report.yml, feature-request.yml, pull_request_template.md, labels.yml, and labeler.yml. These templates enforce consistent contribution processes across your team.

Can I add GitHub Copilot instructions and labeler rules to an existing repository?▼
