Description

Currently you can create a repository via the API, but not from a template, I know repo templates are a relatively new feature but it would be awesome if this could be included as a feature.

Sidenote: gitea is an awesome project by the way - big fan of this 🚀

I would also be very interested in this. I need to autocreate a bunch of repositories for a students project and templates would make it possible to achive this.
