Templates allow to create new projects based on the GenHTTP SDK (such as webservices or websites) in a couple of minutes. To install the project templates in your environment run the following command in your terminal:
dotnet new -i GenHTTP.Templates
After the templates have been installed, new projects can be created using the following commands:
mkdir AppName
cd AppName
dotnet new <template-name>
If installed, the templates will also show up in Visual Studio and can be used from there to quickly create new projects:
