```

```shell
export AGGREGATION_FACTORIES="github-repository-provider" # for github repos
export GITHUB_TOKEN='token providing repositroy write access' # for github repos

template-sync --define "description=a very new fantastic module" -t myUser/myTemplate myUser/newModule#aBranch
```

Create new repository and bind it to aTemplateGithubUser/aRepo

```shell
export GITHUB_TOKEN='token providing repositroy write access' # for github repos

template-sync --track --create --template aTemplateGithubUser/aRepo myGithubUser/myRepo
```
