## What it is
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
