Today, we’re excited to introduce repository templates to make boilerplate code management and distribution a first-class citizen on GitHub. To get started, all you need to do is mark a repository as a template, and you’ll immediately be able to use it to generate new repositories with all of the template repository’s files and folders.

Resolve merge conflicts more easily, co-author commits to share credit with others, check out your GitHub pull requests, and more with the release of GitHub Desktop 2.0.
