	### Summary Extend the template variable substitution to replace file paths. This can be helpful for setting up log files & directories that should match the repository name. ### PR Changes - Move files matching glob pattern when setting up repos from template - For security, added ~escaping~ sanitization for cross-platform support and to prevent directory traversal (thanks @silverwind for the reference) - Added unit testing for escaping function - Fixed the integration tests for repo template generation by passing the repo_template_id - Updated the integration testfiles to add some variable substitution & assert the outputs I had to fix the existing repo template integration test and extend it to add a check for variable substitutions. Example:

Gitea `1.11.0` and above includes template repositories, and one feature implemented with them is auto-expansion of specific variables within your template files.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To tell Gitea which files to expand, you must include a `template` file inside the `.gitea` directory of the template repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Gitea uses [gobwas/glob](https://github.com/gobwas/glob) for its glob syntax. It closely resembles a traditional `.gitignore`, however there may be slight differences.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Example `.gitea/template` file
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All paths are relative to the base of the repository
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```gitignore
 | 
						|
# All .go files, anywhere in the repository
 | 
						|
**.go
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# All text files in the text directory
 | 
						|
text/*.txt
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# A specific file
 | 
						|
a/b/c/d.json
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
# Batch files in both upper or lower case can be matched
 | 
						|
**.[bB][aA][tT]
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**NOTE:** The `template` file will be removed from the `.gitea` directory when a repository is generated from the template.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Variable Expansion
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In any file matched by the above globs, certain variables will be expanded.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Matching filenames and paths can also be expanded, and are conservatively sanitized to support cross-platform filesystems.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All variables must be of the form `$VAR` or `${VAR}`. To escape an expansion, use a double `$$`, such as `$$VAR` or `$${VAR}`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
| Variable             | Expands To                                          | Transformable |

## Transformers :robot:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Gitea `1.12.0` adds a few transformers to some of the applicable variables above.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For example, to get `REPO_NAME` in `PASCAL`-case, your template would use `${REPO_NAME_PASCAL}`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Feeding `go-sdk` to the available transformers yields...
