New Project Checklist

Clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/gorepotemplate
Copy the gorepotemplate folder to a new project folder (cp -r gorepotemplate <project name>)
Change into the new project folder (cd <project name>)
Delete the existing .git folder from the template project (rm -rf .git)
Initialize a new git repo (git init)
Create the Github repoistory in the web UI. Do not select a project language for a .gitignore, or a license (these are included in gorepotemplate)
Add the Github repository as a git remote (git remote add origin git@github.com:letsencrypt/<project name>.git)
Set up the main repository settings (https://github.com/letsencrypt/<projectname>/settings):
- Disable Wikis, Sponsorships, Projects, and Discussions
- Only allow squash merging
- Automatically delete head branches
Set up collaborators and teams (https://github.com/letsencrypt/<projectname/settings/access):
- Add "@letsencrypt/boulder-developers" as "maintain"
- Add "@letsencrypt/ops" as "write"
Set up branches (https://github.com/letsencrypt/<projectname>/settings/branches):
- Ensure the default branch is main, not master
- Add a branch protection rule for main:
  - Require pull requests before merging, require 1 approval, dismiss stale approvals upon new pushes, and require review from Code Owners
  - Require status checks to pass before merging
  - Require linear history
  - Include administrators
  - Restrict who can push to "@letsencrypt/boulder-developers"
