Introduction (please delete after reading):
standard-GEM is a template repository that aims to standardize the format of genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) versioned with git. In addition to encouraging the open-sourcing of GEMs, it facilitates the import of GEMs into databases and online websites. Moreover, it provides the community with a familiar structure that is easy to adopt through this repository itself. The template comes with a set of requirements and recommendations, packaged as to-do items in a hidden Markdown file in this repository .standard-GEM.md. After downloading this repository, or using it as a template, those to-do items provide guidance to how adherence to the standard can be obtained.

Instructions for this README (please delete after reading):
This is the README.md template provided by standard-GEM and was crafted to cover most use-cases.
Feel free to edit this template README. Blanks are indicated by {{ test }}. One may use a search function to find these {{. Here are some examples of blanks used throughout this file: {{organization or username}} is the organization name or username for this GitHub repository, eg. SysBioChalmers; {{repository name}} is the name of this GitHub repository, eg. yeast-GEM.
If you find this template does not fit your needs, we would appreciate if you could report this by creating a new issue on standard-GEM.
