This repository stands to house a skeleton of what all repos (especially those containing python code), can look like.
In the top right corner there should be a Green Use Template button. Click this and name your new repository
After this, you will want to git clone the repository locally and then use git grep to find and replace files with the correct information. The command for doing this find and repalce is linked here.
An example of the commands would be (On MAC)
git grep -l 'YOURPACKAGE' | xargs sed -i '' -e 's/YOURPACKAGE/mypackage/g'
git grep -l 'YOUR NAME' | xargs sed -i '' -e 's/YOUR NAME/myname/g'
git grep -l 'YOUREMAIL' | xargs sed -i '' -e 's/YOUREMAIL/myemail/g'
After you have done this, you must also change the name of the package in the repo using git mv
git mv YOURPACKAGE/ mypackage
Now we can commit and update the template so we are ready for developing your own package.
git commit -m "Updating template"
git push
