PowerShellOrg Community Health Files

This repository provides organization-wide default community health files and shared infrastructure for PowerShellOrg — a community-run GitHub organization dedicated to maintaining quality PowerShell open-source tools.

GitHub automatically applies the files in .github/ to every repository in the org that does not define its own version.

Reusable workflows

Both workflows are reusable via workflow_call. Consuming repos call them from their own tag-triggered or push-triggered workflows.

Current consumers: Plaster, PSDepend

CI (powershell-ci.yml)

Runs the full test and analysis matrix. Call it from any repo:

jobs:
  ci:
    uses: PowerShellOrg/.github/.github/workflows/powershell-ci.yml@main

Release (powershell-release.yml)

Builds, publishes to PSGallery, and creates a GitHub Release. Requires the PSGALLERY_API_KEY secret to be set in the consuming repo.

jobs:
  release:
    uses: PowerShellOrg/.github/.github/workflows/powershell-release.yml@main
    with:
      module-name: MyModule
    secrets:
      PSGALLERY_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.PSGALLERY_API_KEY }}

Governance

See GOVERNANCE.md for the full governance model. The short version: the Org Admin holds org-wide authority; each adopted project has its own Steward who drives it day-to-day; the Council is all active Stewards plus invited members; the 72-hour silent-assent window applies to both.
