GitHub Project Release

Turn a local project into a clean GitHub repository that is safe to make public later. Default to research-code release behavior: clean copy first, private GitHub repo first, audit before push.

Workflow

1. Inspect the source project before copying.

   • Identify the runnable entrypoints, key configs, curated figures/tables, license, citation files, and upstream dependencies.
   • Treat the codebase as source of truth. Do not preserve stale upstream README language as the release front page.

2. Check credentials.

   • Run scripts/github_project_release.py auth-check.
   • Use the active gh account as the default owner.
   • Never ask the user to paste a GitHub token into chat. If auth is missing, ask them to run gh auth login or provide credentials through a secure non-chat channel.
