GitHub allows repositories to create files which activate certain presentation features on their website. GitHub looks for these files placed in the root directory, /docs, and /.github. Only one copy of a file is necessary in any of these folders. Do not place multiple copies.
Files pertaining to GitHub presentation only should be placed in /.github.
Procedural and documentative information should be placed in /docs. Current and active legal information,
as well as the primary README.md, should be kept in root.
If any of these folder's contents conflict with terms and procedures defined in root or /docs, then root
or /docs will take precedence, in that order.
