Description

We love GitHub at nf-core, and the nf-core template will always default to using GitHub features. However, as we think about making the template more user-friendly for people creating pipelines outside of the nf-core organisation, it could be nice to make life easier for people working with other platforms.

  • Opt out of .github files
  • Alternative dotfiles for issue templates etc for GitLab, etc.

Collect additional specifics in this issue please..

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the nf-core template handles opting out of .github files and how issue-template dotfiles are generated. Define the provider-specific files needed for GitLab and other supported SCM platforms, then verify that template creation produces the selected files without GitHub-specific files when opted out.
