Question about templates folder

[ArthurHlt]

I was reading this from docs: https://eclipse-che.readme.io/docs/templates
But I have a question, if I git clone all projects from samples.json inside the directory project.template_location_dir before runnning che, did che will link these cloned project to all samples or I have to set .zip file ?

Context is that I want to download all project template locally before running che on a server without internet access.

The json file is just a reference to git or zip sources. However, zip importer would only accept a URL to a remotely hosted zip archive.

What you can do though is add host.projects.root to conf and point it to a persistent location on your machine, git clone all examples there, and you will have these examples as projects in every workspace you create.

As to docs, the are not up to date, I'll fix that.
