The rest API allows you to set many things about a repo:

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos#update-a-repository

Including repo homepage stuff like homepage and description, and repo settings like has_wiki.

But I cannot find any way to programmatically set the values of these checkboxes:

It's not a big deal, but these checkboxes are on by default, and it adds a lot of visual cruft to the homepage that is very often not needed. For example, I am creating a public website template repo, which will never need any releases/packages/environments, and I'd like to shut these things off for the user (automatically when they fork the template, using GitHub actions) so they see less stuff in the UI and are less confused/distracted (the template is made for non-technical users).

I would also like to modify these setting using the API and didn't find how to do it.
