Problem to solve

GitLab ships with built-in vendor project templates. In addition, with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/48043 we are introducing project templates, allowing to bootstrap a new project based on prepared configuration and boilerplate code.
Since the amount of out-of-box templates and custom templates can become large quite fast, we should implement a way to allow enabling/disabling built-in vendor templates. Right now, these are

• Ruby on Rails
• Spring
• NodeJS Express

Proposal

Let's add the option for Administrators to enable/disable the built-in templates in the Admin Area.

Solution

tbd

Earlier designs

Enable/disable templates

Admin area → Project templates → Built-in templates

List	Empty	Undefined

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

• If a template is disabled, it does not appear in the "Create new project from template" flow.
