This topic describes the repository template feature. You can use the repository template feature to quickly create a code repository by using a system template or custom template. This allows you to reuse the project structure, code, and branch model of an existing code repository. Organizations can customize a template repository that complies with their engineering standards for development teams to use.
System templates
The system provides built-in templates that are suitable for Spring, NodeJs Express, Android, iOS, Go Micro, Ruby on Rails, .NET Core, and React. You can choose a built-in template based on your business requirements.
