The stack new command will create a new project based on a project template.
Templates can be located on the local filesystem; Github, GitLab or
Bitbucket repositories; or arbitrary URLs.
Stack allows any GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository named
stack-templates to provide project templates for Stack. For example, a
template file at username/stack-templates/my-template.hsfiles on GitHub can be
identified as username/my-template when using stack new. The relevant
service can be specified by prefixing github: (the default), gitlab: or
bitbucket:.
For more information, please see the user guide:
https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/templates_command/
There are many project templates available at
commercialhaskell/stack-templates on GitHub (the default repository) or other
locations. Some simple examples:
stack new myproj # uses the default template (new-template)
stack new myproj2 rio # uses the rio template at the default repository
stack new website yesodweb/sqlite # Yesod server with SQLite DB
For more information and other project templates, please see the
stack-templates Wiki:

Please feel free to add information about your own project templates to that Wiki for discoverability.
