What about the Haskell style of line breaking?

* Haskell line breaking is recommended for longer parameter lists * `const`: West Const * table structure should rather not be used for declaration lists * declarations should be made...

How about binding the MacPorts project as a sub-module for our repository? Together with a further build instruction to copy the intended Portfile from the sub-module into the desired directory...

Actually, the steps only need to be processed once. Thereby, the latest `Portfile` will be taken automatically from the concerning project such that the file does not need to be...

The initialisation of the submodule is done automatically by cloning with the option `--recursive`, i. e. ``` git clone --recursive ``` Hence, we just would need to add a comment...

I tested the proposed change in one of my repositories and noticed that the `CONTRIBUTING.md` will not be shown on the project's "Welcome Page". This behaviour is complementary to GitLab...

I just pushed the test on a new branch, `feature/remove-softlink` to the repository. The "Welcome Page" still works properly. Hence, the softlink does not need to kept anymore and has...

The softlink is still required by almost all makefiles. The only exceptions the ones from the Julia directory. I will upload a patch for that.
