   - Owner:  Either yourself or an organization you are a member of
   - Repository Name:  something short with US alphabet, numbers, and dashes or underscores.  *Avoid accented and letters outside of the 26 a-z*
   - Visibility:  check this box to keep it private.  In general, make things private unless you are really sure you want search engines, AI LLM scrapers, and random people to look at it.
+   - Description:  Explain what this is about so that people know quickly if it relates to what they need.  This is also the most easily searched.
   - Issue Labels: Default (unless you are working on a project with a complicated management/approval process)
   - License:  Skip this if private.  If not, read the quick overview on licenses at https://choosealicense.com/

+   - README: The default is a nice place to start.  If you haven't already setup a git workspace/repository on your computer, I recommend checking "Initialize Repository (Adds .gitignore, License, and README)" so that the repository starts with some useful files.
+   - Default Branch:  This choice is a bit political in places as explained in a [2020 article at the software freedom conservancy](https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/).  The default of "main" is less offensive to certain groups.  "master" was the classical name for many years.
