Here's a thread of code-repository questions I've had while at PyCon. Feel free to boost them or reply to them, I'm doing them one at a time specifically so discussions will start

Does Gtihub support an AGENTS.md in the .github repo for an org, or does each repo need to config this manually?

It seems like it _should_, but it might be they haven't written this feature yet?

Is there a method yet for ensuring every repo in an org has a set of issue/PR labels? I wrote https://pypi.org/project/epithet/ for this years ago, and am wondering if I need to update it or if better solutions have emerged.

The concept of "org labels" exists, but only gets applied to NEW repos created.

What's the full set of things support in the .profile repo for @Codeberg orgs? The docs clearly state that a README.md works, but what about issue / PR templates? FUNDING.md? SECURITY.md? Code_of_conduct.md?

Is there a tool, for Codeberg or Github, that will retroactively apply PR/Issue template changes to open issues / PRs? Would such a tool be useful? I hear @django might have something like this.

@phildini Wouldn't CookieCutter potentially cover this?

@bitprophet hmmm… does it? Say more?

@phildini @bitprophet Cookiecutter or other template tools can create the files that back those from a template repo. copier can keep it in sync even.

@phildini @bitprophet Yeh. It's the one I use.

@phildini @bitprophet All the things you described in a repo are just files in `./.github/` or related, so I would create a skeleton with all of those in it, and a `copier.yaml` to tie it together. In an org… you could actually put it in a subdirectory of the org repo as a pattern, which actually might be kind of convenient.

@phildini @bitprophet One thing I appreciate about copier over some of them is that it accepts a subdirectory for the template, so you can even colocate it with a repository that has different rules: https://github.com/WorldconVotingSystems/nomnom/blob/main/copier.yml

I’ve even managed (in that repo) to tie it into automated testing.

@phildini @Codeberg https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/user/profile/

I believe README is the only one that's picked up by the software, but you can include other info and link it.

@phildini In the past I've used GitHub Actions to sync labels from a file to a repo:

https://github.com/termcolor/termcolor/blob/main/.github/labels.yml
https://github.com/termcolor/termcolor/blob/main/.github/workflows/labels.yml

But I expect it's much easier via a `gh` command now.
