A set of boilerplate shell scripts defining GitHub's normalized script pattern (script/bootstrap, script/setup, script/update, script/server, script/test, script/cibuild, script/console) for consistent project workflows. It standardizes common development tasks so contributors can work across projects without learning each one's setup.
Use cases
- standardize bootstrap and setup scripts across projects
- onboard new contributors faster with consistent commands
- unify how tests and CI builds are invoked
- scaffold a new project's developer workflow
- reduce friction going from git clone to running app
When to choose
- you maintain multiple projects and want a uniform script convention
- you want contributors to run standard commands without project-specific knowledge
- you're starting a new project and want a proven developer workflow pattern
When to avoid
- you already use a task runner like Make, Just, or npm scripts that covers this
- your team has its own established conventions
- you need a full build or CI system rather than script conventions
