Usage

GitHub Templates

Automated through @ahmadnassri/action-template-repository-sync

1. create a repository from the template
2. clone locally
3. add secrets in GitHub Actions for NPM_TOKEN & GH_TOKEN
4. update colophon.yml, docs/README.md with info about the project

Note:
GH_TOKEN is required for action auto-merge, readme, release workflows

Local Automation

use Docker Compose to run tasks locally:

• docker-compose run readme to regenerate README.md
• docker-compose run test to run tests across all LTS versions of Node.js
• docker-compose run lint to execute super-linter locally

Note:
Your main README.md file is in docs/README.md, the file at root is generated using pandoc using the provided template.

You should run docker-compose run readme after any change to docs/README.md and before commit / push
