A repository containing the default community health files (such as contributing guidelines, code of conduct, and issue/pull request templates) for the @GitHub organization on GitHub. These files are automatically surfaced by GitHub when contributors interact with the organization's repositories that lack their own health files.

Use cases

• set up default community health files for a GitHub organization
• learn how organization-wide CONTRIBUTING and CODE_OF_CONDUCT files work
• provide fallback issue and pull request templates across many repos
• see an example of GitHub's own community health file setup
• standardize contributor guidelines across an organization

When to choose

• you maintain a GitHub organization and want default health files inherited by member repositories
• you want a reference example from GitHub itself for structuring .github community files

When to avoid

• you need runnable software, a library, or a tool - this is only configuration/documentation files
• your repository already defines its own community health files, which take precedence over org defaults
• you want per-repo customized templates rather than organization-wide defaults
