This template repository provides a starting point for creating or importing repos in the CiscoDevNet organization on GitHub.com.
Use this template as a guide to create a repo that encourages contributions and demonstrates thoughtful maintenance strategies.
Add source code, and in template files, change <project name> to the repo name reference (e.g., go-ciscosecureaccess)
The source files need to have copyright and license headers:
For projects with Apache 2.0 license:

#
# SPDX-License-Identifier: MITYou can use the reuse tool to add copyright and license headers to all source files.
Examples of adding headers to go files:
docker run --rm --volume $(pwd):/data fsfe/reuse annotate --copyright-prefix string --copyright "Cisco Systems, Inc. and its affiliates" -l "Apache-2.0" --skip-existing **/*.go The CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md reflects our standards for interaction.
The CONTRIBUTING.md file instructs new contributors on how to communicate with the project maintainers, report issues, provide pull requests, reviewing contributions, and how to version control releases.
The LICENSE file should contain the license you intend for the source code in the repo.
The SECURITY.md file describes security policies and procedures including reporting a security-related bug and the policy on disclosure.
The AGENTS.md file contains a template for guiding AI agents that work with your repository.
