Describe the need

We’re looking to create a slim-starterkit-python template that can be directly used within JPL’s GitHub (github.jpl.nasa.gov) or other inner-source repositories. Currently, the process involves cloning the public starterkit and manually pushing it to an inner-source repository, which is not very streamlined. It would be ideal to have a more efficient approach, where users can simply click the "Use this template" button within JPL’s GitHub instance to create a new project, avoiding the extra steps of cloning and pushing.

This enhancement would improve workflow and adoption within the team.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing public starterkit and the current clone-and-push workflow, then confirm the template requirements for github.jpl.nasa.gov. Done means an inner-source user can use the template directly without manually cloning and pushing.
