What Hacker News says

2 sources
So essentially in dotnet, when you create a new project, you run Dotnet new templateName Dotnet runs that template and out comes dotnet code. That is what we have built and we consume internal libraries we created in order to keep people updated with changes. But at the end of the day, it’s just dotnet code, don’t like what or how we did something? Go ahead and change it. It’s just regular code. It’s similar to running “helm create {name}” or npm run create-react-app, but developed internally. https://github.com/dotnet/templating/wiki/Available-template...
