How It Works

GitHub automatically uses files from this .github repository as defaults for all repositories in the UPENN-PNGC organization. Individual repositories can override these defaults by including their own versions of these files.

Customization

To customize these files for a specific repository:

1. Copy the desired file(s) from this repository
2. Place them in the target repository at the same relative path
3. Modify as needed for that repository's specific requirements

Maintenance

These files should be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure they remain relevant and useful for all organization repositories.
