The stack templates command¶
stack templates provides information about project templates used with the
stack new command.
Project templates are specified in .hsfiles files. The format of those files
is documented at the
commercialhaskell/stack-templates
repository on GitHub.
Any GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository named stack-templates can provide
project template files. For example, a template file
username/stack-templates/my-template.hsfiles on GitHub can be identified as
username/my-template when using stack new. The relevant service can be
specified by a prefix: github: for GitHub (the default
service), gitlab: for GitLab, or bitbucket: for
Bitbucket.
commercialhaskell/stack-templates
on GitHub is the default repository for project templates. Its username
(commercialhaskell) does not need to be specified when using stack new.
The project template that stack new uses by default is named new-template
and provided at the default repository.
The default repository provides 24 other project templates. Its Wiki provides a description of some of those templates and information about the location of other templates.
