# Custom group-level project templates **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/6861) in GitLab 11.6.
|
|
|
|
When you create a project, you can [choose from a list of templates](../project/working_with_projects.md#create-a-project).
|
|
These templates, for things like GitLab Pages or Ruby, populate the new project with a copy of the files contained in the
|
|
template. This information is identical to the information used by [GitLab project import/export](../project/settings/import_export.md)
|
|
and can help you start a new project more quickly.
|
|
|
|
You can [customize the list](../project/working_with_projects.md#create-a-project) of available templates, so
|
|
that all projects in your group have the same list. To do this, you populate a subgroup with the projects you want to
|
|
use as templates.
|
|
|
|
You can also configure [custom templates for the instance](../admin_area/custom_project_templates.md).
|
|
|
|
## Set up group-level project templates
|
|
|
|
Prerequisite:
|
|
|
|
- You must have the Owner role for the group.
|
|
|
|
To set up custom project templates in a group, add the subgroup that contains the
|
|
project templates to the group settings:
|
|
|
|
1. In the group, create a [subgroup](subgroups/index.md).
|
|
1. [Add projects to the new subgroup](index.md#add-projects-to-a-group) as your templates.
|
|
1. In the left menu for the group, select **Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand **Custom project templates** and select the subgroup.
|
|
|
|
The next time a group member creates a project, they can select any of the projects in the subgroup.
|
|
|
|
Projects in nested subgroups are not included in the template list.
|
|
|
|
## Which projects are available as templates
|
|
|
|
- Public and internal projects can be selected by any signed-in user as a template for a new project,
|
|
if all [project features](../project/settings/index.md#sharing-and-permissions)
|
|
except for **GitLab Pages** and **Security & Compliance** are set to **Everyone With Access**.
|
|
- Private projects can be selected only by users who are members of the projects.
|
|
|
|
## Example structure
|
|
|
|
Here's a sample group and project structure for project templates, for `myorganization`:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
# GitLab instance and group
|
|
gitlab.com/myorganization/
|
|
# Subgroups
|
|
internal
|
|
tools
|
|
# Subgroup for handling project templates
|
|
websites
|
|
templates
|
|
# Project templates
|
|
client-site-django
|
|
client-site-gatsby
|
|
client-site-html
|
|
|
|
# Other projects
|
|
client-site-a
|
|
client-site-b
|
|
client-site-c
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
