# mochi template

Manage flowfile templates.

## Synopsis

Manage flowfile templates. A template is a reusable flowfile scaffold that can generate
executables, directory structures, and configuration files via 'template generate'.

Templates are registered by name for easy reuse. Use 'template add' to register a
template, 'template generate' to scaffold from one, and 'template list' to see what's available.

Templates (\*.flow.tmpl files) are also auto-discovered within your workspaces during
'flow sync' — dropping one into a workspace makes it available without registering it.
Registered templates take precedence over discovered ones when names collide; use a
'workspace/name' reference to target a specific discovered template.

## Options

| `--sync` |  | Sync flow cache and workspaces |
