Maintain or remove?

[GGoetzelmann]

I stumbled upon this repo and got curious due to the bland name and the missing description.

this seems a bit outdated and/or unmaintained. Is this repo still of relevance?

What are the purposes of the template exactly?

1. simplify spring boot (?) gradle project init?
2. provide template for github actions CI?
3. provide important best practices / common concepts for our group?

Is there a benefit of a template repo over something like https://start.spring.io/ for point 1?

A first proposal from my side:

• remove this repo
• for initialization, use spring initializr (start.spring.io), as we seldomly start a new spring boot project. Other languages or frameworks also have either tools, templates or instructions to create a new project.
• for CI, I'd propose to use whatever github proposes then (as it will be up-to-date) and then customize if required.
• have an extra repo (lets call it "templates" for now) with other templates, like contribution.md, a proposal for good readme file(s), or other specialized stuff like interface.md or specialized CI which is a bit more complicated, like docker setups. We can then pull the files we need into our repos. Even better would be a bot to create pull requests for each file or so :D
