Estimates-Forecast-Template

Github Template Repository for Estimates and Forecasts Team Python projects. Use this repository to initialize new Python projects within the Estimates and Forecasts Team.

How to use Template Repositories

New repositories can be created from template repositories via the GitHub website GUI.

Configuration of Private Data in secrets files

To avoid exposing private data, store sensitive configuration values (such as server names, usernames, and API tokens) in a secrets file in addition to your standard configuration file.

Place the secrets file in the repository root as either secrets.yml or secrets.toml. Both file names are intentionally included in .gitignore so secrets are not committed.

Each project created from this template should keep a short "Secrets" section in its own README.md that explains its use.

Example secrets.yml:

sql:
    server: your_server_name
    database: your_database

api:
    token: your_api_token

Example secrets.toml:

[sql]
server = "your_server_name"
database = "your_database"

[api]
token = "your_api_token"
