Suggestion: instead of telling people to fork the repository, set this up as a GitHub template repository instead.

Example from one of my projects: https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper-template

Oh, very interesting! Thanks for the suggestion! This is indeed a more elegant approach! However, I do have some concerns about introducing an additional dependency. My main goal was to create something that would be maximally simplified. Nevertheless, I'll test how it would work with the template feature - at first glance, it really looks like a better solution and I'll definitely try it!
