Adjustments When Forking

When you fork this repository, you will need to update several files to match your project’s specific details. These include:

• CITATION.cff: Update the citation file with your project’s specific details.
• CODEOWNERS: Update with the GitHub usernames of the people who will maintain the forked repository.
• CONTRIBUTING.md: Tailor the contributing guidelines to fit your project’s contribution process.
• .editorconfig: Adjust the indent sizes to match your project’s coding conventions.
• Issue and Pull Request Templates: Ensure that any URLs are updated to point to your project’s resources. Also update the contact_links in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml to point to your project’s discussions and documentation.
• SUPPORT.md: Update any references for reporting and ensure the support guidelines match your project.
• SECURITY.md: Ensure that the contact information for reporting security vulnerabilities is updated to the appropriate contact for your project.
• README.md: Create your own readme file to reflect your project’s purpose and details.
• URLs: Search the entire repository for any URLs or references containing “skeletor” or “drachenpapa” and replace them with links pointing to your own project and profile.
• Workflows: Two ready-to-use workflows are included: an SBOM generator (sbom.yml) and a dependency review check (dependency-review.yml). Both are language-agnostic and require no configuration. When referencing GitHub Actions, always pin them to a full commit SHA instead of a mutable tag (e.g. actions/checkout@<full-commit-sha> instead of actions/checkout@v4) to protect against supply-chain attacks.
• Renovate Configuration: Remove the default.json and update configurations as needed.
• GitHub Pages: If you plan to use GitHub Pages, set it up in the repository settings and update the site content in the docs directory.
