What configuration should I add in the [Unit] section to make the service-disabled by default. Or any other options to make this by code will be really helpful

Just a remark: The original gist is really, really old. Ubuntu has reached the 20.10 version, so today these hints are outdated.
If you want to handle a systemd service, read the instructions for systemctl. To disable a service, a command like
"sudo systemctl disable " will be used.
And/or use Google to search for recent documentation, there are plenty of websites which describe systemd/systemctl, e.g. here: https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/enable-disable-services-ubuntu-systemd-upstart/

Thanks & Kind regards
