# New Repo Checklist
Use this checklist when creating a new repository from scratch. Follow
the steps in order. Full policies are at:
`https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/REPO_POLICIES.md`
Template files can be fetched from:
`https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/prompts/raw/branch/main/<filename>`
## 1. Initialize
- [ ] `git init`
- [ ] Ask the user for the license (MIT, GPL, or WTFPL)
## 2. First Commit (README only)
- [ ] Create `README.md` with all required sections:
- [ ] **Description**: name, purpose, category, license, author
- [ ] **Getting Started**: copy-pasteable code block
- [ ] **Rationale**: why does this exist?
- [ ] **Design**: how is it structured?
- [ ] **TODO**: initial task list
- [ ] **License**: matches chosen license
- [ ] **Author**: [@sneak](https://sneak.berlin)
- [ ] `git add README.md && git commit`
## 3. Scaffolding (feature branch)
- [ ] `git checkout -b initial-scaffolding`
### Fetch Template Files
- [ ] `.gitignore` — fetch from prompts repo, extend for
language-specific artifacts
- [ ] `.editorconfig` — fetch from prompts repo
- [ ] `Makefile` — fetch from prompts repo, adapt targets for the
project's language and tools
- [ ] For JS/docs repos: `.prettierrc`, `.prettierignore`
### Create Project Files
- [ ] `LICENSE` file matching the chosen license
- [ ] `REPO_POLICIES.md` — fetch from prompts repo
- [ ] `Dockerfile` and `.dockerignore`
- Server: runs the application
- Non-server: brings up dev environment and runs `make check`
- Image pinned by sha256 hash with version/date comment
- [ ] Language-specific:
- [ ] Go: `go mod init sneak.berlin/go/<name>`, `.golangci.yml`
(copy from `~/dev/upaas/.golangci.yml`)
- [ ] JS: `yarn init`, `yarn add --dev prettier`
- [ ] Python: `pyproject.toml`
### Configure Makefile
- [ ] `make test` — runs project tests (30-second timeout)
- [ ] `make lint` — runs linter
- [ ] `make fmt` — formats code (writes)
- [ ] `make fmt-check` — checks formatting (read-only)
- [ ] `make check` — prereqs: `test`, `lint`, `fmt-check`; must not
modify files
- [ ] `make docker` — builds Docker image
- [ ] `make hooks` — installs pre-commit hook
## 4. Verify
- [ ] `make check` passes
- [ ] `make docker` succeeds
- [ ] No secrets in repo
- [ ] No mutable image/package references
- [ ] No unnecessary files in repo root
- [ ] All dates written as YYYY-MM-DD
## 5. Merge and Set Up
- [ ] Commit, merge to `main`
- [ ] `make hooks` to install pre-commit hook
- [ ] Add remote and push
- [ ] Verify `main` passes `make check`
