# Issue and Pull Request Templates
|
|
|
|
Some projects have a standard list of questions that users need to answer
|
|
when creating an issue or pull request. Gitea supports adding templates to the
|
|
**default branch of the repository** so that they can autopopulate the form when users are
|
|
creating issues and pull requests. This will cut down on the initial back and forth
|
|
of getting some clarifying details.
|
|
It is currently not possible to provide generic issue/pull-request templates globally.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the New Issue page URL can be suffixed with `?title=Issue+Title&body=Issue+Text` and the form will be populated with those strings. Those strings will be used instead of the template if there is one.
|
|
|
|
## File names
|
|
|

## Directory names
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, users can create multiple issue templates inside a special directory and allow users to choose one that more specifically
|
|
addresses their problem.
|
|
|
|
Possible directory names for issue templates:
|
|
|
|
- `ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
|
|
- `issue_template`
|
|
- `.gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
|
|
- `.gitea/issue_template`
|
|
- `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
|
|
- `.github/issue_template`
|
|
- `.gitlab/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`
|
|
- `.gitlab/issue_template`
|
|
|
|
Inside the directory can be multiple markdown (`.md`) or yaml (`.yaml`/`.yml`) issue templates of the form.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax for markdown template
|
|
|
|
```md
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
name: "Template Name"
|
|
about: "This template is for testing!"
|
|
title: "[TEST] "
|
|
ref: "main"
|
|
labels:
|
|
|
|
- bug
|
|
- "help needed"
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This is the template!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above example, when a user is presented with the list of issues they can submit, this would show as `Template Name` with the description
|
|
`This template is for testing!`. When submitting an issue with the above example, the issue title would be pre-populated with
|
|
`[TEST] ` while the issue body would be pre-populated with `This is the template!`. The issue would also be assigned two labels,
|
|
`bug` and `help needed`, and the issue will have a reference to `main`.
|
|
|
|
## Syntax for yaml template
|
|
|
|
This example YAML configuration file defines an issue form using several inputs to report a bug.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
name: Bug Report
|
|
about: File a bug report
|
|
title: "[Bug]: "
|
|
body:
|
|
- type: markdown
|
|
attributes:
|
|
value: |
|
|
Thanks for taking the time to fill out this bug report!
