GitHub Repo Checklist

55 checks across 6 categories. Everything from repo basics to post-launch growth, so your open-source project is ready before it's public and keeps growing after.

Your progress0/550%

Before You Even Push

The basics that should exist before the repo goes public.

0/6
Repo name is short, lowercase, hyphenated, and matches what people would search for
Clear one-line description in the GitHub "About" field

Shows up in search and social previews — don't leave it blank.

Topics/tags added (GitHub Topics)

Use both broad (llm, devtools, cli) and specific (terraform, mcp-server) terms.

Website/docs link added in the About section

Not just buried in the README.

License chosen and added (LICENSE file)

MIT/Apache-2.0 for most OSS tools.

.gitignore matching your stack

No node_modules, .env, secrets, or build artifacts.

README Structure

Top to bottom, in the order people actually read.

0/14
Project name + one-line tagline

What it does, who it's for.

Badges row

Build status, license, latest version/release, npm/PyPI downloads if applicable, Discord/community link.

Hero visual within the first scroll

A working GIF, screen recording, or screenshot. The single highest-leverage element — most people decide to keep reading based on this alone.

Short "why this exists" / problem-solution framing

2-4 sentences, not a paragraph.

Features list

Scannable bullets, not paragraphs.

Integrations/supported platforms table if relevant

e.g. "Works with: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Terraform Cloud".

Quickstart: install + first working example in under 60 seconds of reading

The #1 thing that determines if someone tries it or bounces.

Link to full docs

Don't cram everything into the README, link out.

Benchmarks/comparison table if it's a performance-measurable tool

Include a methodology link or repo so it's not just marketing claims.

Comparison vs alternatives

A simple "us vs X vs Y" table on the dimensions people actually care about.

Roadmap or "what's next"

Even a link to a GitHub Project board.

Contributing section with link to CONTRIBUTING.md
License section

Short, links to full LICENSE file.

Community/support links

Discord, Slack, issues, discussions.

Supporting Files

The specific files people look for.

0/7
CONTRIBUTING.md

How to set up dev environment, run tests, submit PRs, coding conventions.

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

Especially if you want external contributors.

SECURITY.md

How to report vulnerabilities responsibly.

CHANGELOG.md

Even a simple one — signals the project is maintained.

Issue templates (.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/)

Bug report, feature request.

PR template (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md)
examples/ or demo/ folder with runnable code

Not just README snippets.

Trust & Maintenance Signals

Signals that show the project is alive and cared for.

0/5
CI badge that's actually green

A broken CI badge on a public repo is worse than no badge.

Recent commit activity
Tagged releases with release notes

Not just a rolling main branch.

Responded-to issues

A pile of unanswered issues signals abandonment fast.

.github/FUNDING.yml if you take sponsorships

Discoverability Extras

Small touches that widen who finds the repo.

0/4
Repo description and README use the actual terms people search

Not just brand names — "kafka vs rabbitmq alternative" type phrasing where relevant.

Social preview image set (Settings → Social Preview)

So link shares on Twitter/LinkedIn/Slack look intentional, not a raw file tree.

Cross-link from your docs site and website footer back to the repo
Package registry README matches the GitHub one

npm/PyPI/crates.io — don't let them drift.

Post-Live Growth Checklist

Social proof, discoverability, and momentum tactics after launch.

0/19
Social proof & credibility
Star history chart (star-history.com badge)
"Used by" or logos section once you have real adopters
Sponsors/backers section if monetized
Contributor recognition

All Contributors bot or a simple contributors section; visible recognition increases repeat contribution.

Third-party listings & directories
Submit to GitHub discovery/listing sites

Trendshift, StackShare, and similar third-party repo directories.

Awesome-list submissions

PR into relevant awesome-x lists (e.g. awesome-llm, awesome-devtools, awesome-mcp-servers) for high-authority backlinks and real discovery.

Package registry listings kept in sync with the GitHub README

npm, PyPI, crates.io, if applicable.

Contribution funnel
"Good first issue" / "help wanted" labels

Curate 5-10 genuinely approachable issues, not fake busywork, before promoting the repo externally.

Submit labeled good-first-issues to third-party aggregator sites

goodfirstissue.dev, up-for-grabs.net, codetriage — extra developer visibility beyond GitHub's own search.

GitHub Discussions enabled

Lower-friction space than Issues for "how do I..." questions, keeps Issues clean for actual bugs.

Repo architecture for discoverability
Benchmark/demo repo as a separate entity

A standalone x-benchmarks or x-use-cases repo, easy to fork/run, lets people validate claims themselves.

Multi-repo surface area strategy

Purpose-specific repos instead of one monolith, so each shows up independently in search and GitHub's related-repo suggestions.

Use-case / cookbook repos showing real integrations

e.g. "memclaw + langchain example" — rank well organically and double as content.

Ongoing competitive maintenance
Periodic README competitive pass

Diff against top 3 competitor repos' READMEs for sections/badges/proof points you're missing.

GitHub Topics audit

Revisit periodically based on what similar successful repos in your space actually use.

Competitive SOV tracking

Pull SEO/SOV data on how your repo/docs rank vs competitor repos for category terms, so growth work is measured.

Docs-to-repo and repo-to-docs cross-linking audit

Docs site links to repo in multiple places; repo links back to full docs, not just once.

Launch/momentum tactics
Trending/launch-day push

Coordinate stars/traffic in a tight window (HN, Product Hunt, Reddit, Twitter same day) — GitHub Trending is momentum-based, not just absolute star count.

Reddit/community organic engagement

Genuine participation in relevant subreddits, linking back naturally when the repo solves someone's actual question, not drive-by self-promo.

How it works

A self-serve checklist you run yourself, no signup, no data leaving your browser.

1
Open the checklist

No URL to enter, no account required. Open the page and start working through the 6 categories at your own pace.

2
Check items as you go

Each item has a clear action and, where useful, a one-line explanation of why it matters. Work through them in order or jump to the section with the biggest gap.

3
Your progress saves automatically

Every check is stored in your browser's localStorage. Close the tab, come back tomorrow — your progress is exactly where you left it.

4
Get a real-time score

The progress bar updates as you check items, colour-coded green / amber / red so you know at a glance whether your repo is launch-ready, developing, or needs work.

Six categories. Full picture.

55 checks covering every signal that determines whether your repo gets found, trusted, and starred.

Pre-push basics

Repo name, About field, Topics, license, and .gitignore — the things that should exist before anyone sees the repo.

README structure

The exact order people read a README, from tagline to community links, with the highest-leverage items called out.

Supporting files

CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, CHANGELOG, issue and PR templates, the files contributors specifically look for.

Trust & maintenance

Green CI, tagged releases, and responded-to issues, the signals that separate a maintained project from an abandoned one.

Discoverability

Search-friendly copy, social preview images, and cross-linking that widen who actually finds the repo.

Post-live growth

Star history, awesome-list submissions, good-first-issue labels, and launch-day tactics for after the repo is live.

Frequent questions about the GitHub repo checklist

Everything you need to know about getting your repo launch-ready.

Anyone launching or maintaining an open-source developer tool on GitHub: solo maintainers prepping a first public release, teams planning a Product Hunt or Hacker News launch, or projects that already have users but want to close gaps in discoverability, trust signals, and contributor experience.
No. The first two sections (pre-push basics and README structure) matter most before you go public. Sections 4 to 6 (trust signals, discoverability, and post-live growth) are things you build up over weeks and months as the repo matures.
A working hero visual, GIF, screen recording, or screenshot, within the first scroll of your README. Most visitors decide whether to keep reading based on that one element alone, before they read a word of text.
Topics are how GitHub's own search and related-repo suggestions categorize your project. Using both broad terms (llm, devtools, cli) and specific ones (terraform, mcp-server) gets you surfaced in more searches without diluting relevance.
Yes. Every check is stored in your browser's localStorage, so your progress is exactly where you left it when you come back, no account or sign-in required.

Want your repo to actually grow, not just look ready?

The checklist tells you what to fix. Infrasity does the fixing: README rewrites, launch planning, and the GitHub marketing that turns a checked box into real stars, installs, and adoption.
