 # Workflow-Templates
-Template files for workflows
+
+This repository stores templates used to set up workflows for new repositories.
+
+## Set up a new repository
+
+Clone this repository to your disk and run `setup-workflows.sh`. It copies the necessary files to the correct
+locations in your new repository.
+
+```bash
+./setup-workflows.sh <path-to-new-repository> <type>
+```
+
+Search for `TODO` in the copied files and replace the placeholders with the correct values. The same script can be used to update
+all files in case of major changes in the templates.
+
+:warning: Make sure to run the script from the latest `main` branch to get the most recent templates.
+
+## What you get
+
+### Default setup
+
+- Release management is done with [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release). Releases are automatically tagged and published on GitHub. Special
+  releases for Maven Central and Terraform modules are supported.
+- stale issue and PR management
+- welcome message for contributors
+- linters for all files
+- PRs are checked for semantic commit titles to ensure an automatic release
+- ChatOps to run workflows from comments
+
+## For Developers - Repository Layout
+
+1. Add all workflows to `.github/workflows/`, otherwise they can't be referenced from the repositories.
+2. Workflows with `this_` prefix are used for this repository only.
+3. Workflows with `default_` prefix are added to every new repository. Otherwise use the correct prefix for the project type.
+
+The script to set up the workflows for new repositories is `setup-workflows.sh`. It copies the necessary files to the new
+repository. It starts with the default workflows and adds the specific ones based on the project type. In case of a filename clash,
+the specific template overwrites the default one (exception: `.gitignore` These files are concatenated).
+
+Use 
+
+```bash
+# USE_REPOSITORY
+#  push:
+#    branches:
+#      - main
+# /USE_REPOSITORY
+```
+
+in the file to describe the triggers which should be used in the repository. The script will automatically replace the triggers
+marked with `USE_WORKFLOW` which are valid within this repository only.
