Go Project CI Checklist

For Go projects, ensure these GitHub configurations:

Setting	Purpose	How
Branch protection	Require tests pass before merge	Branch settings or Rulesets
Dependabot/Renovate	Automated dependency updates	`.github/dependabot.yml` or `renovate.json`
Auto-merge workflow	Merge minor/patch updates automatically	`templates/auto-merge*.yml`
Required checks	CI workflow names in branch protection	Match exact workflow job names

For CI/CD workflow content (test, lint, build), see go-development skill. For security workflows (Scorecard, CodeQL, SLSA), see enterprise-readiness skill.
