Create and install custom project templates

Last modified: 16 September 2024

Rider supports the template system used by the .NET tooling dotnet new, which allows you to use project templates from the dotnet templates gallery as well as custom templates that you can create on your own.

There are two ways to install new project templates.

  • You can run dotnet new --install [template package] in the command line, where [template package] is the template id from the dotnet templates gallery.

  • In the New Project/New Solution dialog, click More Templates on the left, then click Install Template, and then choose a folder or a package file with the custom project template.

    When the path to the template appears in the list, click Reload.
