+# CLI templates Part 2 Proposal
+
+status - Completed
+
+## Overview
+
+Now that we support templates in `cordova`, I think it is time to enhance this feature a bit. Currently, it pretty much copies over all of the files from the template repo or module. This can cause problems because it doesn't usually make sense to copy over files like:
+
+* package.json belonging to a template
+* RELEASENOTES.md
+* .git
+* NOTICE
+* LICENSE
+* Copyright
+* .npmignore
+
+Files we do want:
+
+* config.xml
+* .gitignore
+* node_modules
+* platforms/plugins
+* hooks
+* merges
+* other files or folders
+
+Sometimes we do want a `package.json` copied over. `package.json` could have build scripts that are essential for the template to work. To handle this use case, template authors are suggested to put template files in a subdirectory and point to that subdirectory in `index.js`. All files in the subdirectory are copied over. 
+
+Example: https://github.com/apache/cordova-app-hello-world/blob/master/index.js
+
+### Proposal
+
+Update the current template implementation to ignore the list of files above that shouldn't be copied over when using `--template`. If a subdirectory is used, copy the entire contents of the subdirectory.
+
+If a `package.json` exists in the subdirectory, we should update its fields like we do to `config.xml`. https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/master/cordova-lib/src/cordova/create.js#L378-L382. Only field to update in `package.json` should be `package.name`. `package.name` should be updated to use `config.name` lowercased (npm package names have to be lowercase). `config.name` is the optional third argument `cordova create` takes.
+
+Example:
+`cordova create PATH APPID NAME CONFIGOPTIONS`
+
+Currently, package.json's version defaults to `1.0.0`. `config.xml` version seems to start at `0.0.1`. Probably a good idea to update our templates to set the initial version in `config.xml` to 1.0.0 instead. 
+
+Also:
+
+* create a how to create templates guide for docs. Talk about subdirectory as suggested method, add keyword `cordova:template`.
+
+### Future Work
+
+* create a search similar to plugins.cordova.io for templates based on the keyword.
