github-tools, developed by @dinoboff, is a resourceful package designed to facilitate the creation and hosting of new software packages on GitHub, complete with documentation. It includes a PasteScript template, Paver tasks, and a Sphinx extension, making it easier for developers to set up projects. The package is accessible via PyPI using easy_install or can be cloned directly from its GitHub repository. The initiative is acknowledged by Chris Wanstrath, also known as @defunkt.
