🚀 **Shipped: GitHub Project Template v1.0.0**

I built this template to remove the repetitive setup work that comes with starting a new project.

Instead of creating the same folders, documentation, GitHub templates, and workflows every time, you can start with a structured foundation and focus on building your project.

**Included:**

* 📁 Organized project structure
* 📝 Documentation templates (PRD, Architecture, Roadmap, Decisions, Testing)
* 🐞 GitHub issue templates
* 🔀 Pull request template
* 🤝 CONTRIBUTING guide
* ⚖️ MIT License
* ✅ GitHub Actions CI
* 📖 Devlog and changelog support

This is **v1.0.0**, and I'll keep improving it as I use it on future projects.

Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are always welcome!

What I built today

Built a GitHub project template repo
Set up folders (docs, src, assets, .github)
Added issue templates (bug + feature)
Added pull request template
Added CONTRIBUTING.md
Set up CI workflow
Fixed GitHub sync issues (empty folders, git tracking)

Problems I hit

Git didn’t upload empty folders
CI failed because structure wasn’t fully synced
Git push confusion / local vs GitHub mismatch

What I learned

Git does not track empty folders
CI runs on GitHub, not locally
Small missing details break automation

Next step

Improve CI checks
