You can create a template, or set a project as a template, to share a pre-configured project with other people in your organization which they can then use as the base for their projects.
The projects you mark as templates are shown in the "Create a project" dialog when anyone creates a project in your organization. You can also configure up to six templates to recommend to your organization's members.
When someone creates a project from a template, the {% data reusables.projects.what-gets-copied %} are copied from the template to the new project. You can find the template that a project used from the project's settings page, under the "Templates" section.
{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.user-settings.access_org %} {% data reusables.projects.projects-tab %} {% data reusables.projects.templates-tab %}
- Click New template.
If you have admin permissions for a project in your organization, you can set the project as a template and make it available for others in your organization to use.
{% data reusables.projects.project-settings %}
- In the "Templates" section, next to "Make template", select the switch to toggle it to On.
You can find all the templates in your organization on the "Templates" page.
{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.user-settings.access_org %} {% data reusables.projects.projects-tab %} {% data reusables.projects.templates-tab %}
You can also add templates to teams and repositories, to make them accessible and more visible from the team or repository's "Templates" page. For more information, see AUTOTITLE and AUTOTITLE.
If you have write or admin permissions for a project in your organization, you can choose to copy the project as a template. This will make a duplicate of the current project—copying the {% data reusables.projects.what-gets-copied %} —and set that copied project as a template for your organization.
{% data reusables.projects.project-settings %}
- In the "Templates" section, click {% octicon "duplicate" aria-hidden="true" %} Copy as template.
If you are an organization owner, you can select up to six templates to recommend to your organization's members. These recommended templates are suggested first when an organization member creates a new project.
You can add up to six templates to your organization's recommended templates.
{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %}
-
In the "Code, planning, and automation" section of the sidebar, click {% octicon "table" aria-hidden="true" %} Projects.
-
Under "Recommended templates", click Customize recommended templates.
-
In the list of templates owned by your organization, select up to six templates that you want to recommend to your members.

You can change the display order of your recommended templates in the "Create project" dialog.
{% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %}
-
In the "Code planning, and automation" section of the sidebar, click {% octicon "table" aria-hidden="true" %} Projects.

Under "Recommended templates", find the template you want to reposition, click on {% octicon "grabber" aria-label="Drag to reorder" %}, and drag the template to the new position.
