When I first read 'GitHub-maintained client libraries' I initially thought they meant built in libraries or templated stub functions, sort of like what they offer for .gitignore for various programming environments and languages. I was a little disappointed when I saw it was just for the Github API, although I expect this to still be useful.

I feel like this is something they could offer in the future though as many IDEs automatically build your environment when a new project is initialized. Assuming you use github as your IDE (i.e. not really using any IDE) project initialization might make sense.

Giter8 (https://github.com/n8han/giter8) sounds like what you’re looking for. “Giter8 is a command line tool to generate files and directories from templates published on github or any other git repository.”
