Description

Right now setup requires quite a few (easy but) manual steps. Let's make it even easier.

Current setup:

  1. Create GitHub Wiki
  2. Clone repo
  3. Copy post-commit and transformation.py scripts
  4. Create branches
  5. Set permissions
  6. Test manually

Proposed automation:

  • Automatically create the needed branches
  • Install the post-commit hook and transformation.py
  • Set correct permissions
  • Run a test to verify everything works
  • Give helpful error messages

Language: Python with simple CLI prompts

Contributor guide

Research direction
Write a Python script that automates the setup steps: create branches, install hooks, set permissions, and run a test.
