copilot-repo-template gitattributes.instructions.md

copilot-repo-template gitattributes.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from franklesniak/copilot-repo-template. It costs 3,843 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository rules for .gitattributes, the Git file that controls how files are treated when checked out. It covers line endings, binary files, and Git LFS, which stores large files outside normal Git history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding or reviewing .gitattributes entries for text files, ordinary binary files, or files managed by Git LFS.
Why use it?
It keeps text files consistent across operating systems and prevents binary or large files from being handled incorrectly.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

copilot-repo-template gitattributes.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

.gitattributes Rules

Version: 1.4.20260617.0

Metadata

  • Status: Active
  • Owner: Repository Maintainers
  • Last Updated: 2026-06-17
  • Scope: Applies to any .gitattributes file in repositories that adopt these instructions, independent of programming language. Governs how committed text artifacts, linter-enforced LF file families, template-managed text formats, ordinary binary declassification, and opt-in Git LFS-managed binaries are protected against platform-dependent checkout rewriting or incorrect Git attribute handling.
  • Related: Repository Copilot Instructions

Purpose and Scope

This file defines the normative rule for entries in .gitattributes that protect byte-exact text artifacts, linter-enforced LF file families, and template-managed text formats from platform-dependent line-ending rewriting. It also distinguishes ordinary binary declassification from opt-in Git LFS-managed binary attributes. It applies to every .gitattributes file in any repository that adopts these instructions, regardless of the programming languages used in the repository.

Note: This document uses RFC 2119 keywords (MUST, MUST NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, MAY) to indicate requirement levels.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
