repokit-template

Reusable repository templates for bootstrapping and updating repositories with repokit-cli.

This repository defines composable template profiles for common repository concerns such as base GitHub workflow files, agent operating rules, and language-specific overlays. It is designed to be consumed by repokit-cli, which applies the selected profiles to target repositories and updates them later with merge-aware behavior.

What this repository contains

• profiles/base/: required baseline files for repository hygiene, including issue templates, pull request template, merge rules, and GitHub label definitions.
• profiles/agent/: reusable agent workflow and repository operating guidance.
• profiles/claude/: Claude Code compatibility file that imports the AGENTS.md provided by the agent profile.
• profiles/python/: Python-specific ignore rules and agent language guidance.
• profiles/rust/: Rust-specific ignore rules and agent language guidance.

repokit-cli always applies profiles/base/ first, then overlays any additional profiles in the order you select.

How it is used

Use repokit-cli to initialize a target repository from this template repo or update an existing initialized repository.

repokit init \
  --template https://github.com/evenonfridays/repokit-template.git \
  --ref main \
  --profiles base,agent,claude

After initialization, the target repository can be updated with:

repokit update

For the full command set and behavior details, see the repokit-cli repository.

Repository layout

The template source is organized by profile:

profiles/
  base/
  agent/
  claude/
  python/
  rust/

Within each profile:

• normal files are copied or merged into the target repository
• .repokit/ contains repokit-cli configuration for merge rules and optional GitHub label sync
• later profiles override earlier ones when the same path exists in more than one profile
