Create a repository using a template

Creates a new repository using a repository template. Use the template_owner and template_repo route parameters to specify the repository to use as the template. If the repository is not public, the authenticated user must own or be a member of an organization that owns the repository. To check if a repository is available to use as a template, get the repository's information using the Get a repository endpoint and check that the is_template key is true.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the public_repo or repo scope to create a public repository, and repo scope to create a private repository.
