In big projects with multiple teams and even small projects, standards are key. Make everything as simple as possible and keep it consistent. The Pentaho Standardised Git Repo Setup utility tries to combine these two concepts and creates a basic git structure. A version control system like Git is essential to every setup.

This implementation does not require an additional packages (only relies on bash which is usually installed by default). It is one method of putting all the theory outline here into place.

The main goal is to give teams a starter package in the form of a predefined Git folder structures with checks in place that a minimum set up rules is followed.

The code is available here. The main functionality is implemented, but there are further aspects like CI that are at very early stages. Currently this project is in the early alpha stage. Any feedback is appreciated.
