Building communities documentation

GitHub offers tools that help repository maintainers establish and enforce standards of behavior in their communities on GitHub.

Repository maintainers can review their public repository's community profile to learn how they can help grow their community and support contributors. Contributors can view a public repository's community profile to see if they want to contribute to the project.

With issue and pull request templates, you can customize and standardize the information you'd like contributors to include when they open issues and pull requests in your repository.

You can host documentation for your repository in a wiki, so that others can use and contribute to your project.

View a public repository's community profile to check on a project's health and decide if you want to contribute.

Adopt a code of conduct to define community standards, signal a welcoming and inclusive project, and outline procedures for handling abuse.

You can include an open source license in your repository to make it easier for other people to contribute.

You can add and edit wiki pages directly on GitHub or locally using the command line.

You can create a SUPPORT file to let people know about ways to get help with your project.
