Typo in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml: blank_lines_enabled should be blank_issues_enabled #482

Description

@chirag127

Problem

.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml:1 uses blank_lines_enabled: true, which is not a valid key. GitHub's issue-template config schema recognises only blank_issues_enabled and contact_links. The invalid key is silently ignored, so the intent (explicitly enabling blank issues) is not actually expressed by the config.

Steps

  1. curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sourcery-ai/sourcery/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml
  2. Observe line 1: blank_lines_enabled: true
  3. Compare against the documented schema: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-templates-to-encourage-useful-issues-and-pull-requests/configuring-issue-templates-for-your-repository#configuring-the-template-chooser

Expected

Key should be blank_issues_enabled: true (or removed entirely, since true is the default).

Actual

blank_lines_enabled: true — silently ignored by GitHub; setting has no effect.

Environment

File committed in ae30818 (2022-08-26). Still present on main as of 2026-07-04.

Fix: rename the key on line 1, or delete the line if the default is fine.

Thanks for maintaining sourcery-ai/sourcery!
