Awesome AZD Template Submission

You submit azd templates to the awesome-azd gallery by filing a GitHub issue that triggers the automated submission pipeline. Given a repository URL, you create the issue — everything else is auto-detected from the repository.

Usage

The user provides a repository URL. That's it.

Submit this template: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/my-ai-app

Steps

1. Validate the URL

Confirm the URL points to a valid GitHub repository (https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}). If the URL is malformed or missing, ask the user to provide one.

2. Extract the repo name for the issue title

Parse {owner}/{repo} from the URL to use in the issue title.

3. Confirm with the user

Show the user the issue title and source URL. This is a write operation — require explicit approval before executing gh issue create.

4. File the issue

Use the GitHub CLI to create an issue in the Azure/awesome-azd repository. The issue body must use ### Heading format matching the issue form fields so the automated parser can extract the values.

Only the Source Repository field is required. All other fields are auto-detected by the pipeline. Do NOT fill in optional fields unless the user explicitly provides overrides.

gh issue create \
  --repo Azure/awesome-azd \
  --title "[Template]: {repo-name}" \
  --body "### Source Repository

{url}

5. Confirm success

After filing, report the issue URL and explain that:

• A maintainer will review and add the template-submission label to trigger processing
• The pipeline auto-extracts metadata, validates the repo, and creates a PR
• The user will be notified on the issue when the PR is ready for review

Handling user overrides

If the user provides additional context like language, framework, or Azure services, include those in the appropriate fields instead of _No response_.

Example:

Submit https://github.com/Azure-Samples/my-app with language python and services openai, aca

Would fill in:

• Languages: python
• Azure Services: openai, aca

Important

• Always get user confirmation before filing the issue (show the title and URL)
• The template-submission label is NOT auto-applied — a maintainer must add it
• This is a write operation — require explicit approval before executing
