# Issue and Pull Request Templates
2019-03-09 21:15:45 +00:00
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
2018-05-11 00:42:22 +00:00
main branch of the repository so that they can autopopulate the form when users are
2019-03-09 21:15:45 +00:00
creating issues and pull requests. This will cut down on the initial back and forth
2019-01-28 15:23:59 +00:00
of getting some clarifying details.

Possible file names for issue templates:
* ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
* issue_template.md
* .gitea/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
* .gitea/issue_template.md
* .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md
* .github/issue_template.md
Possible file names for PR templates:
* PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
* pull_request_template.md
* .gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

* .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md
* .github/pull_request_template.md

Additionally, the New Issue page URL can be suffixed with `?body=Issue+Text` and the form will be populated with that string. This string will be used instead of the template if there is one.
