• 🤝 Collaboration Tools - Issue templates, PR templates, and community health files
• 📊 Project Monitoring - Built-in patterns for tracking project health and development metrics
• 🎨 Modern Development Practices - Code formatting, linting configurations, and development environment setup

This repository serves as both a template for new projects and a demonstration of modern GitHub-based development workflows.

• New Project Initialization - Use as a template for starting new repositories
• Existing Project Enhancement - Adopt patterns and workflows for existing projects
• Team Standardization - Establish consistent practices across development teams
• Open Source Projects - Complete setup for community-driven development

1. Click "Use this template" button on the GitHub repository page
2. Name your new repository and choose visibility settings
3. Clone your new repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
   cd your-repo-name

4. Customize the documentation to match your project:
   • Update README.md with your project details
   • Modify CONTRIBUTING.md for your contribution guidelines
   • Update LICENSE if using a different license

1. Download the template files:

   curl -L https://github.com/primoscope/primoscope/archive/main.zip -o primoscope.zip

3. Adapt the documentation to your project's needs

• Git (version 2.25 or higher)
• A GitHub account
• Text editor or IDE (VS Code recommended)

1. Create or access your repository:

   # For new projects using this template
   gh repo create your-project --template primoscope/primoscope
   
   # Or clone an existing repository
   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo.git
   cd your-repo

2. Install recommended tools (optional but recommended):

   # GitHub CLI for enhanced workflow
   # Visit: https://cli.github.com/
   
   # Pre-commit hooks for code quality
   pip install pre-commit
   pre-commit install

3. Verify setup:

   git status
   ls -la  # Should see README.md, LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING.md

# Use primoscope template
gh repo create my-python-app --template primoscope/primoscope
cd my-python-app

# Add Python-specific files
echo "*.pyc\n__pycache__/\n.venv/" > .gitignore
echo "python-app\npython\nflask\napi" > .github/topics.txt

# Update README.md
sed -i 's/primoscope/my-python-app/g' README.md
sed -i 's/Intelligent GitHub Repository Template/My Awesome Python App/g' README.md
