A suggestion – your github repo forked the template-- that’s a problem, because now your library appears to be one of 380+ forks contributing to the template, and it isn’t.
If instead you click on the green “Use this template” button on the original template repo then you get all the benefits of github – people can fork you and contribute to you, etc. You will have to move your commits onto the new template-fork, but it is a much nicer setup.
