How can I make my project public?

At first, the project will be private, as we (OSPO) want to ensure that you followed the guidelines and that everything is in place.

As soon as you are done with your initial commits, you can inform OSPO and we will take a close look at the project, and set it to public if we do think all guidelines are followed.

There is also some automation running, which will set projects, which do not follow the guidelines, to private.

Provided Tools

Markdownlint

To make it easier for the project to keep the Markdown files in a good shape, we added markdownlint-cli to the project.

1. with a makefile for easier execution locally, based on docker images, so it can be used in every environment as long as docker and make are available.
2. with a workflow for pull request verification based on the makefile.

The following files are part of this integration:

• makefile: as it contains the targets for execution
• .markdownlint.yml: as it contains the configuration for markdownlint-cli
• .github/workflows/makefile.yml: as it contains the GitHub Action configuration
