How did you successfully open source your private repo? Any must-follow playbooks?

Hey Product Hunt fam!

I m preparing to open source a project I ve been working on privately for a while. It's now production-ready and has real-world impact, but I want to make sure I do it right, not just dump it into GitHub and hope for the best.

I m looking for your battle-tested frameworks and lessons learned:

  • What s one thing you wish you had done differently when making your repo public?

  • What made your repo get noticed?

  • What should I definitely include before launching?

  • Did you use templates, bots, GitHub Actions, or community rituals that helped?

  • How do you avoid just having a ghost town of a repo?
