OctalMesh Repository Template

This repository is the official template for all OctalMesh repositories.

It provides a standardized starting point that includes required policies, documentation, GitHub templates, and configuration files used across the organization.

The goal of this template is to ensure that every repository starts with consistent structure, clear rules, and predictable workflows - without reinventing the basics each time.

How to use this template

1. Click Use this template on GitHub to create a new repository.
2. Use the Owner dropdown to select the OctalMesh organization or your personal account as the owner of the new repository.
3. Fill in the Repository name and optionally the Description for the new repository.
4. Choose to make the repository Public or Private.
5. Optionally, to include the directory structure and files from all branches in the template, and not just the default branch, select Include all branches.
6. Click Create repository.
7. Review the included files and adjust them only where project-specific behavior is required.

You can find TODO comments in some files indicating where customization is required. These must be addressed before the repository is considered complete.

Most of the files in this template configured for OctalMesh standards and using organization contacts and references. Only change these if the project has specific needs that differ from the organization-wide defaults.
