• Create a new repo at GitHub
• Check out the new repository in the same directory this updater lives in (not inside the updater!)
• Create a directory ".ambient-package-update" and create a file "metadata.py" inside.

from ambient_package_update.metadata.author import PackageAuthor
from ambient_package_update.metadata.constants import DEV_DEPENDENCIES
from ambient_package_update.metadata.package import PackageMetadata
from ambient_package_update.metadata.readme import ReadmeContent
from ambient_package_update.metadata.ruff_ignored_inspection import RuffIgnoredInspection

METADATA = PackageMetadata(
    package_name='my_package_name',
    authors=[
        PackageAuthor(
            name='Ambient Digital',
            email='[e-mail]',
        ),
    ],
    development_status='5 - Production/Stable',
    readme_content=ReadmeContent(
        tagline='A fancy tagline for your new package',
        content="""A multiline string containing specific things you want to have in your package readme.
""",
    ),
    dependencies=[
        'my_dependency>=1.0',
    ],
    optional_dependencies={
        'dev': [
            *DEV_DEPENDENCIES,
        ],
        # you might add further extras here
    },
    ruff_ignore_list=[
        RuffIgnoredInspection(key='XYZ', comment="Reason why we need this exception"),

    ],
)

• Install the ambient_package_update package

  # ideally in a virtual environment
