Add your own Templates

Overview

Projects vary greatly, as do teams and their preferences. While Bunnyshell Templates are a good place to start an Environment, more often than not, you will need to build your own Templates, which support your team's toolchain and practices.

Custom Templates can be added to your Bunnyshell organization by storing them in one or more git repositories, and then adding those repositories as Template sources in Bunnyshell.

Prepare the repository

Add the repository in Bunnyshell

Please see how to Prepare your repository for Custom Templates.

Browse the Custom Templates

The Template source was added, and the Templates Listing screen has a new type of view, which allows you to switch between Custom Templates and Bunnyshell Templates.

Upon expanding the Template source, you will see the Templates imported from the respective source. You will be able to view the configuration for a Template or create an Environment from it.

The view from the Environment Details empty screen has changed as well, allowing you to use the Custom Templates for your empty Environment.

Synchronize Templates

Templates are automatically sync'ed using Git webhooks, but in the event a webhook is lost, you can also perform a manual sync from the Templates List.
