Dear users and contributors,

I've created an example project (repository) on GitHub. It is a GRASS GIS
module written in Python which simply adds two raster maps together. It
uses GitHub Actions to build the module and publish its documentation as a
website (using GitHub Pages).

https://github.com/wenzeslaus/r.example.plus

This is based on my earlier work on an example project on GitLab [1] and
includes several improvements and changes:

* There is a test suite included with couple of test functions.
* It uses Black for code formatting (assuming author runs it manually).
* Repository is marked as a template (see the big "Use this template"
button).
* GitHub Actions are used for:
  * compiling the module and running tests,
  * checking code quality with Flake8 and Pylint, and
  * checking code style with Black.
* GitHub Actions are now used for publishing documentation (done by GitLab
CI before).
* Option names now follow GRASS GIS standards more.
* More documentation in the code and on how to use the code.
* Badges are now in the README file (GitLab had those as project
properties).

Otherwise, I hope the project should describe itself and if something is
missing or is not documented enough, please open an issue or a pull request.

Best,
Vaclav

PS: We can discuss on grass-dev if this should go under some organization
and how to improve the "what's next" part [2].
