Current best practice for creating new BCL Measure Repo?

Hi all,

Is there updated info on best practice when creating a new measure repo to connect to the BCL?

I'd like to organize some measures I've been developing into a repo that is accessible via the BCL. The documentation that the BCL Contribute Data page points to appears to be outdated. It suggests following the instructions for creating a new extension gem, however there are a few open issues suggesting the rake task bundle exec rake init_new_gem is outdated.

With that in mind, I can't find any current guidance for an up to date way to build out the required folders for a measure gem. Is there a repo I can fork and modify to build a fresh measure repo? It's not clear to me if the creating a new extension gem is even necessary for a BCL measure repo, so if I'm overcomplicating this, I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know.

Thanks y'all.
