Template Python Repository

This repository provides a minimal Python project structure with a GitHub Actions workflow for automated testing. It can be used as a starting point for new Python projects.

Project Layout

• src/ - application source code
• tests/ - unit tests
• .github/workflows/ - CI configuration
• pyproject.toml - optional project metadata for packaging

Branch Protection

Branch protection rules should require pull request reviews and passing status checks before merging to the main branch. Admins may be allowed to bypass these requirements where needed.

Getting Started

1. Create a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies (if any) and run tests:

   pip install -r requirements.txt  # optional
   pytest

pyproject.toml

pyproject.toml stores build configuration and project metadata. It enables standard packaging with setuptools and can declare dependencies. You may remove it for simple scripts, but it is recommended if you intend to distribute the project as a package.
