Android Open-source repositories 101: Everything you always wanted …
summary
Covers concrete repository work: chooses Apache 2.0 as default license, adds CONTRIBUTING.md and a clear README, generates docs with Dokka and publishes to Javadoc.io, and automates CI with GitHub Actions running lint and tests on every PR. Uses Dependabot or Renovate to update dependencies, applies semantic-release to bump versions and publish to Maven or GitHub Releases, uses CODEOWNERS for mandatory reviews; examples include WhiteCharts and WhiteChat libraries (published) and two contracting gigs won from an earlier Android Stack Blur project.
