+Script patterns
+---------------

+-  For builds that involve independent command-line tools, use `Make <https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>`__, and follow `DataMade's Making Data Guidelines <https://github.com/datamade/data-making-guidelines>`__ and `Clark Grubb's Makefile Style Guide <https://clarkgrubb.com/makefile-style-guide>`__. Examples: `standard_profile_template <https://github.com/open-contracting/standard_profile_template>`__
+-  If a repository has scripts to set itself up and/or update itself, follow `GitHub's Scripts to Rule Them All <https://github.com/github/scripts-to-rule-them-all>`__. Examples: `deploy <https://github.com/open-contracting/deploy/tree/master/script>`__, `standard_profile_template <https://github.com/open-contracting/standard_profile_template/tree/master/script>`__
+-  If a repository requires a command-line tool for management tasks, create an executable script named ``manage.py`` in the root of the repository. (This matches Django.) Examples: `extension_registry <https://github.com/open-contracting/extension_registry/blob/master/manage.py>`__, `deploy <https://github.com/open-contracting/deploy/blob/master/manage.py>`__
