Hi @GoodERP_Jeff

The first option you’ll see there is the ability to choose a template. You likely do not have one of these set up yet, but a template is a special kind of repository that you can use as a springboard for your new repositories. These are helpful for including documentation or issue templates in all of your projects.

The lesson mentions that a template can be setup.

Happy coding
