Create a repository template

As an administrator, you can create templates from repository dump files or zip archives and use them to initialize new repositories.

These formats are supported for templates:

A repository dump file
Zipped archive of a repository dump file
Zipped archive of the contents of a repository: this should contain the entire repository (including the db and hooks folders), not just a checkout of some portion of the repository

Select Repositories in the main navigation bar.
Select Manage Templates and click Create in the Repository Template List page.
On the Create New Repository Template page, provide a name for the template. Template names can contain up to 120 characters and include alphanumerics and spaces.
Browse to the zip or dump file you want to use for your template.
Click Create.

When you add a new repository, this template will be available for you to initialize the repository.
