This repository is an example Custom Template Repository that can be used with the Cloud Code plugins for VSCode and IntelliJ.

The .cctemplate is a Template Descriptor file that describes the contents of your repository so that Cloud Code knows where to look for your templates. It should look something like the following:

{
    "metadata": {
        "version": "1"
    },
    "templates": [
        {
            "path": "path/to/my/template",
            "name": "My Template",
            "description": "This template helps you create something amazing!"
        },
        ...
    ]
}
