# 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.
Gitea (starting with version `1.11.0`) supports creating template repositories
which can be used to generate repositories based on the template, complete with
variable expansion of certain pre-defined variables.
To tell Gitea which files to expand, you must include a `template` file inside the `.gitea` directory of the template repository.
All files in the template repository are included in a generated repository from the
template except for the `.gitea/template` file. The `.gitea/template` file tells
Gitea which files are subject to the variable expansion when creating a
repository from the template.
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.

## Variable Expansion
In any file matched by the above globs, certain variables will be expanded.
