(From a GitHub product manager) Thank you for this feedback about the pain of having to repeatedly change repo settings. It makes great sense that you'd want to repeat certain settings. Would it meet your needs if repository templates allowed you to have settings that got copied when you created a repo from the template (https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managin...)? I also wonder if you'd be interested in repository settings being settable in a text file. If you want to continue chatting about this it would be great if you could post it in GitHub's feedback discussions here: https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/categories/ge.... Thanks again!

Having some sort of repo config file (either account-wide or in the .github folder) would be very helpful.
