LaunchRepoDefinition
In software, a boilerplate is a prepared starting point — a repository with structure, conventions and working defaults — that you copy and adapt for each new project instead of starting blank. You own the copy; nothing runs on someone else’s server; updates are something you pull, not something applied to you.
The opposite model is the service: you hand over inputs, the vendor does the work on their systems, and you get results as long as you pay.
Example
A developer in Leeds sells two small products. He runs init-workspace.py once and gets his own private working copy with fresh history. Each product gets its own folder with its own product context file and tracker; the playbooks are shared. When a new LaunchRepo release appears, he reads the changelog and merges it into his copy — or skips it.
Nothing runs on a vendor server, and the second product does not cost a second license. That is the boilerplate model in practice: a starting point he owns, not a service he rents per launch.
Why it matters for a directory launch
Directory submission is usually sold as a service, priced per launch or per month. A boilerplate turns it into a capability you keep: the same repository, playbooks and tracker for the second product and the tenth, with your own agent and your own accounts. The trade-off is honest — you run it, and setup takes an afternoon.
How LaunchRepo handles it
LaunchRepo is a private GitHub repository: 299 playbooks, a product template, scripts and a local dashboard. You buy once at the current price of €119.00 and use it for every product you own; init-workspace.py creates your own private working copy with fresh history so nothing of yours goes back to the delivery repository. Updates are published as releases you merge at your discretion — no cadence is promised.
