Default community health files for every repository on this account.
This repository is not a project. GitHub treats a repo named .github
specially: files here act as defaults for any of the account's repositories
that don't define their own.
| File | Applies to |

.github/FUNDING.yml |
The Sponsor button on every repo without its own funding file |
- A repository with its own
.github/FUNDING.ymloverrides this one entirely. The files are not merged. - This repository must be public for the defaults to apply. It works even if the repositories inheriting from it are private — but the Sponsor button itself only renders on public repos.
- Changes take effect immediately; there is nothing to re-run.
GitHub also honours account-wide CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md,
SECURITY.md, SUPPORT.md, ISSUE_TEMPLATE/, and
PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md from here. Worth doing only for text that genuinely
suits every project — a per-repo file will almost always be better than a
generic one, and it silently wins over anything here.
