This is the special .github repository for the Apotians organization. Files in this repository provide default community health files and templates for all repositories in the organization.

How It Works

When a repository in the Apotians organization doesn't have its own community health file, GitHub will automatically use the file from this repository. This ensures consistency across all our projects.

Precedence

1. Files in the repository itself take precedence
2. If not found, GitHub uses files from this .github repository
3. Organization-wide defaults apply to all public and private repositories

Customizing for Your Repository

Individual repositories can override these defaults by creating their own files. To customize:

1. Copy the relevant file(s) to your repository
2. Modify as needed for your specific project
3. Commit to your repository

The repository-specific file will take precedence over the organization default.

Updating These Files

To update organization-wide defaults:

1. Create a branch for your changes
2. Update the relevant files
3. Submit a pull request
4. Get approval from organization maintainers
5. Merge to main

Changes will automatically apply to all repositories that don't have their own versions of these files.
