How To Write A Custom URP Shader With DOTS Instancing Support

I wanted to enhance the look of my boids BatchRendererGroup sample with more suitable meshes instead of cubes. For that I decided to use a custom shader with some simple procedural vertex animation. Without proper documentation available it took me quite a while to figure out how to add DOTS instancing support to it, since it's required for BRG. So I am sharing the solution so you don’t have to spend your time.
