Default community health files for Sanger.
GitHub will use and display default files for any public repository owned by the account that does not have its own file of that type in any of the following places:
- the root of the repository
- the .github folder
- the docs folder
For example, anyone who creates an issue or pull request in a public repository that does not have its own CONTRIBUTING file will see a link to the default CONTRIBUTING file. If a repository has any files in its own
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE
folder, including issue templates or aconfig.yml
file, none of the contents of the default.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE
folder will be used.Default files are not included in clones, packages, or downloads of individual repositories because they are stored only in the
.github
repository.
