# 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
|
|
main 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.
|
|
|
|
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`
|
|
- `.gitea/pull_request_template.md`
|
|
- `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
- `.github/pull_request_template.md`
|
|
|
|
Possible file names for PR default merge message templates:
|
|
|
|
- `.gitea/default_merge_message/MERGE_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
- `.gitea/default_merge_message/REBASE_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
- `.gitea/default_merge_message/REBASE-MERGE_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
- `.gitea/default_merge_message/SQUASH_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
- `.gitea/default_merge_message/MANUALLY-MERGED_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
- `.gitea/default_merge_message/REBASE-UPDATE-ONLY_TEMPLATE.md`
|
|
|
|
You can use the following variables enclosed in `${}` inside these templates which follow [os.Expand](https://pkg.go.dev/os#Expand) syntax:
|
|
|
|
- BaseRepoOwnerName: Base repository owner name of this pull request
|
|
- BaseRepoName: Base repository name of this pull request
|
|
- BaseBranch: Base repository target branch name of this pull request
|
|
- HeadRepoOwnerName: Head repository owner name of this pull request
|
|
- HeadRepoName: Head repository name of this pull request
|
|
- HeadBranch: Head repository branch name of this pull request
|
|
- PullRequestTitle: Pull request's title
|
|
- PullRequestDescription: Pull request's description
|
|
- PullRequestPosterName: Pull request's poster name
|
|
- PullRequestIndex: Pull request's index number
|
|
- PullRequestReference: Pull request's reference char with index number. i.e. #1, !2
|
|
- ClosingIssues: return a string contains all issues which will be closed by this pull request i.e. `close #1, close #2`
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Issue Template Directory
|
|
|
|
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 issue templates with the form
|
|
|
|
```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`.
