template-git-repo

One command to give a repository the CI, publishing, badges and Turborepo wiring worked out in qwksearch-research-agent:

bunx template-git-repo

It detects the repo slug, default branch, package manager, workspace layout and the package to advertise on npm, writes the workflows and their helper scripts, wires up Turborepo, and injects a badge block into your README. Nothing existing is overwritten without --force, and --dry-run prints the exact plan.

What it writes

| Path | What it is | | --- | --- | | .github/workflows/tests.yml | Per-package tests with a discovered matrix, coverage + test analytics to Codecov | | .github/workflows/npm-publish.yml | Publishes every workspace package whose content changed — no version bookkeeping | | .github/workflows/auto-merge-claude.yml | Auto-merges agent PRs once their checks pass | | .github/workflows/auto-merge-and-create-prs.yml | Twice-daily sweep: merges green PRs, opens PRs for orphan branches | | .github/workflows/deploy-test-reports.yml | Publishes the HTML test report to Cloudflare Workers | | .github/scripts/*.mjs | The five helpers those workflows call | | turbo.json | Pipeline whose task names the workflows use | | codecov.yml | Per-package flags with carryforward | | README.md | The badge block, between markers |

Full setup notes: docs/ACTIONS.md (workflows and secrets) and docs/BADGES.md (every badge, and what you have to do outside the repo before it shows anything real).

Options

bunx template-git-repo --dry-run          # print the plan, change nothing
bunx template-git-repo --force            # replace files that already exist
bunx template-git-repo --actions-only     # just the workflows and their scripts
bunx template-git-repo --badges-only      # just the README badge block
bunx template-git-repo --no-turbo         # leave turbo.json and package.json alone

Badge inputs — each one enables the badge that needs it, and badges without their input are left out with a note rather than rendered broken:

bunx template-git-repo \
  --doi 10.5281/zenodo.20951725 \
  --docs https://example.com/docs \
  --discord-id 1110227955554209923 --discord-invite https://discord.gg/xxxx \
  --stack Claude,Cloudflare,Next.js

Run bunx template-git-repo --help for the rest.

The parts worth knowing

The test matrix is discovered, not written. .github/scripts/list-test-packages.mjs reads the workspaces globs and emits one matrix entry per package with a test script. A hand-maintained matrix fails silently — a package added to the repo but not to the matrix is never tested, and nothing goes red to say so.

Publishing compares content, not version numbers. npm tarballs are reproducible, so npm pack integrity against the registry answers "did anything actually change". Version bumps happen as a consequence, not as a prerequisite, and they are taken from what the registry says is free — including the versions a half-finished publish reserved, which latest cannot show you.

Badges carry their own setup instructions. docs/BADGES.md is generated from the catalog in src/badges.js, and a test fails if it drifts. A badge whose prerequisites nobody wrote down is a badge that reads unknown forever.

The badge block is re-runnable. It lives between <!-- template-git-repo:badges:start --> and ...:end -->, so running the CLI again after you publish a package or finish setting up Codecov replaces the block and nothing else.

Programmatic use

import { renderBadgeBlock, buildContext } from 'template-git-repo';

const context = buildContext({ overrides: { stack: 'Bun,Cloudflare' } });
const { markdown, skipped } = renderBadgeBlock(context);

Adding a badge

Add an entry to BADGES in src/badges.js — needs, setup and group are what make it self-documenting — then bun run docs:badges. Nothing else needs to know about it.
