Problem
Creating new affiliate projects required repetitive repository setup and configuration, making it difficult to ensure every project started from the same standards and structure. The team needed a repeatable way to provision new repositories from an established application template while reducing manual developer intervention.
Solution
Built a Go service that integrates with the GitHub REST API to automate repository provisioning. The service creates new affiliate repositories from a standardized template and handles the initial repository setup programmatically, providing teams with a consistent starting point for new projects.
