2.2. Installation¶
PyPackIT can be used for both new and existing projects. It is built on top of GitHub Actions, and uses GitHub Actions workflows to interact with your repository and automate the entire development and maintenance process of your project. Therefore, installing PyPackIT in your GitHub repository is a matter of adding these workflows and other necessary files to your repository, and setting up a few configurations. For new repositories, this is a straightforward process, as you can use the PyPackIT repository template to create a new repository that contains all the necessary files. For existing repositories, the process is a bit more involved, as you need to manually add these files and bring your repository to a state that is compatible with PyPackIT.
