# Template Repositories
Gitea `1.11.0` and above includes template repositories, and one feature implemented with them is auto-expansion of specific variables within your template files.
To tell Gitea which files to expand, you must include a `template` file inside the `.gitea` directory of the template repository.
Gitea uses [gobwas/glob](https://github.com/gobwas/glob) for its glob syntax. It closely resembles a traditional `.gitignore`, however there may be slight differences.
## Example `.gitea/template` file
All paths are relative to the base of the repository
```gitignore
# All .go files, anywhere in the repository
**.go
# All text files in the text directory
text/*.txt
# A specific file
a/b/c/d.json
# Batch files in both upper or lower case can be matched
**.[bB][aA][tT]
```
**NOTE:** The `template` file will be removed from the `.gitea` directory when a repository is generated from the template.
## Variable Expansion
In any file matched by the above globs, certain variables will be expanded.
All variables must be of the form `$VAR` or `${VAR}`. To escape an expansion, use a double `$$`, such as `$$VAR` or `$${VAR}`
| Variable | Expands To | Transformable |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| REPO_NAME | The name of the generated repository | ✓ |
| TEMPLATE_NAME | The name of the template repository | ✓ |
| REPO_DESCRIPTION | The description of the generated repository | ✘ |
| TEMPLATE_DESCRIPTION | The description of the template repository | ✘ |
| REPO_OWNER | The owner of the generated repository | ✓ |
| TEMPLATE_OWNER | The owner of the template repository | ✓ |
| REPO_LINK | The URL to the generated repository | ✘ |
| TEMPLATE_LINK | The URL to the template repository | ✘ |
| REPO_HTTPS_URL | The HTTP(S) clone link for the generated repository | ✘ |
| TEMPLATE_HTTPS_URL | The HTTP(S) clone link for the template repository | ✘ |
| REPO_SSH_URL | The SSH clone link for the generated repository | ✘ |
| TEMPLATE_SSH_URL | The SSH clone link for the template repository | ✘ |
## Transformers :robot:
Gitea `1.12.0` adds a few transformers to some of the applicable variables above.
For example, to get `REPO_NAME` in `PASCAL`-case, your template would use `${REPO_NAME_PASCAL}`
Feeding `go-sdk` to the available transformers yields...
| Transformer | Effect |
| ----------- | ------ |
| SNAKE | go_sdk |
| KEBAB | go-sdk |
| CAMEL | goSdk |
| PASCAL | GoSdk |
| LOWER | go-sdk |
| UPPER | GO-SDK |
| TITLE | Go-Sdk |
