Use the `template_owner` and `template_repo` route parameters to specify the repository to use as the template. The authenticated user must own or be a member of an organization that owns the repository. To check if a repository is available to use as a template, get the repository's information using the [Get a repository](https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#get-a-repository) endpoint and check that the `is_template` key is `true`. **OAuth scope requirements** When using [OAuth](https://docs.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/understanding-scopes-for-oauth-apps/), authorizations must include: * `public_repo` scope or `repo` scope to create a public repository. Note: For GitHub AE, use `repo` scope to create an internal repository. * `repo` scope to create a private repository.
