`github_user` does not indicate value can be an organisation
I didn't realise that the intent of the github_user
variable was to be the username or organisation where the git repository is remotely located. So when I ran the cookiecutter I put in my username, then had to change it all to the org I was actually using.
I think this is best solved by solving https://github.com/UCL-ARC/python-tooling/issues/296.
I think it might be even worse: because we provide issue templates in the template's .github
directory (and possibly other things), the github_user
must be a username even though the user might want the repo owner might be an organisation.
... we're being too smart.
We could have two questions: github_username
, github_repo_owner
(which may be the same thing). But then that's another question.
I would suggest removing the assignee from the Github issue templates? Especially for collaborative projects, I don't think it makes much sense to have a single issue assignee, and from my experience a lot of the time I work on projects that don't have a single person assigned to every issue so it would be nice not to have this as default on.
This is not fixed via #308 although that PR solves my comment, above.
