GitHub Repository Setup Automation

I'll help you create a fully configured GitHub repository with all necessary files and workflows. Let me understand your project:

## Understanding Your Repository Needs

**Basic Repository Information:**
- What would you like to name your repository?
- What's the project description?
- Should this be a public or private repository?
- Do you want to create it in a specific GitHub organization? (or your personal account)

**Project Type:**
- What type of project is this?
  - Python (application, library, data science)
  - Node.js (web app, API, CLI tool)
  - Docker (containerized application)
  - React (frontend application)
  - Standard (general purpose, documentation, other)

**Development Standards:**
- What code quality tools do you want? (linters, formatters, type checkers)
- Do you have specific testing requirements?
- Are there organizational coding standards to follow?
- Do you need security scanning or vulnerability checks?

**Team and Workflow:**
- How many developers will work on this project?
- Do you need branch protection rules?
- Should pull requests require reviews before merging?
- Do you want issue and PR templates?

**CI/CD Requirements:**
- What should automated workflows test or build?
- Do you need deployment automation?
- Are there specific platforms to target? (Docker Hub, npm, PyPI, etc.)
- Do you need scheduled workflows?

Based on your answers, I'll provide:

## 1. Repository Initialization

Complete repository setup:
- Repository creation with proper visibility settings
- Organization or personal account placement
- Default branch configuration
- Description and topics/tags
- Homepage and documentation links

## 2. Project-Specific Structure

**For Python Projects:**
- `src/` and `tests/` directories
- `requirements.txt` and `requirements-dev.txt` with appropriate dependencies
- `pyproject.toml` with tool configurations (Black, isort, MyPy, pytest, coverage)
- `.gitignore` for Python
- `pytest.ini` for test configuration

**For Node.js Projects:**
- `src/` directory structure
- `package.json` with scripts and dependencies
- `.gitignore` for Node.js
- `.eslintrc.json` and `.prettierrc` configurations
- `jest.config.js` or test setup

**For Docker Projects:**
- Multi-stage `Dockerfile` with best practices
- `docker-compose.yml` for development
- `.dockerignore` for build optimization
- `scripts/build.sh` and deployment scripts

**For React Projects:**
- Component directory structure (`src/components/`, `src/utils/`)
- Enhanced `package.json` with React-specific scripts
- `.env.example` for configuration
- Testing setup with React Testing Library

**For Standard Projects:**
- Basic directory structure
- Generic `.gitignore`
- Flexible configuration for any project type

## 3. Documentation Files

Professional documentation package:
- **README.md**: Project overview, installation, usage, examples
- **CONTRIBUTING.md**: Development setup, coding standards, PR process
- **LICENSE**: MIT, Apache 2.0, or preferred license
- **CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md**: Community guidelines
- **SECURITY.md**: Security policy and vulnerability reporting

## 4. GitHub Templates

Standardized templates for collaboration:
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md`: Structured bug reporting
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md`: Feature proposal format
- `.github/pull_request_template.md`: PR checklist and description guide
- `.github/CODEOWNERS`: Automatic reviewer assignment

## 5. GitHub Labels

Organized issue management:
- Standard labels: `bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`, `good first issue`, `help wanted`
- Priority labels: `priority-high`, `priority-medium`, `priority-low`
- Status labels: `in-progress`, `blocked`, `needs-review`
- Type labels: `type-feature`, `type-bugfix`, `type-refactor`

## 6. Branch Protection Rules

Repository security configuration:
- Protect main/master branch
- Require pull request reviews (configurable number)
- Require status checks to pass before merging
- Enforce linear history (optional)
- Restrict force pushes and deletions

## 7. CI/CD Workflows

Automated GitHub Actions workflows:

**For Python:**
- Multi-version testing (3.10, 3.11, 3.12)
- Code quality checks (Black, isort, Flake8, MyPy)
- Security scanning (Bandit, Safety)
- Test execution with coverage reporting

**For Node.js:**
- Node version matrix testing
- ESLint and Prettier checks
- Jest test execution
- Build verification

**For Docker:**
- Image build and security scanning
- Multi-architecture builds
- Container structure tests
- Registry push on release

**For React:**
- Build and test workflow
- Component testing
- Production build verification
- Deployment automation (optional)

## 8. Security Features

GitHub security configuration:
- Enable Dependabot vulnerability alerts
- Configure Dependabot version updates
- Enable secret scanning
- Configure code scanning (CodeQL)
- Security policy documentation

## 9. Development Tools

Developer productivity files:
- `.editorconfig`: Consistent editor settings
- `.nvmrc` or `.python-version`: Runtime version specification
- Pre-commit hook configuration
- Local development scripts
- Debug configurations

## 10. Repository Settings

Optimal repository configuration:
- Wiki disabled/enabled based on needs
- Issues enabled with templates
- Projects enabled for task tracking
- Discussions enabled for community (optional)
- Merge button options configured

## 11. Initial Commit Strategy

Proper repository initialization:
- All files created in organized structure
- Comprehensive initial commit message
- Proper file permissions set
- Clone URL provided for immediate use

## 12. Quick Start Guide

Getting started documentation:
- Repository clone instructions
- Development environment setup steps
- First contribution guide
- Common commands and workflows
- Troubleshooting section
