Adoption Guide

Adoption Guide

Three ways to bring CoherenceOps into your repo.

---

Option A: Copy the Folder

Best for: repos that want full control and customization.

# From the CoherenceOps repo root:
cp -r coherence/ /path/to/your-repo/coherence/
cp -r .github/ /path/to/your-repo/.github/
cp -r actions/ /path/to/your-repo/actions/

Then:

1. Replace ORG and REPO in one-click links with your org and repo name
2. Commit the coherence/ folder to your repo
3. Customize canon files for your project

Option B: Git Submodule

Best for: repos that want to track upstream CoherenceOps updates.

git submodule add https://github.com/8ryanWh1t3/CoherenceOps.git coherence-ops

Then symlink or reference the templates and folders as needed.

Option C: Template Repository

Best for: starting a new project with CoherenceOps built in.

1. Go to github.com/8ryanWh1t3/CoherenceOps
2. Click Use this template
3. Create your new repo
4. Replace ORG/REPO placeholders
