# amfelt template eject

Copy a target plugin's SQL template into your project.

Writes the named plugin's own copy of a SQL template into
`templates/<plugin>/<template>.sql`, so you start from SQL that already works
rather than from documentation. The copy is taken from the plugin version this
project is pinned to, so it matches what actually runs.

Only templates the plugin offers for customizing can be copied; ask the plugin
what those are and it answers with the same list this command checks against, so
the two can never disagree.

An existing file is never overwritten. Once a template is in your project it is
yours, and replacing it with the plugin's original would throw away the work
this command exists to start. Delete it yourself if you want to begin again.

## Usage

```text
amfelt template eject <plugin> <template> [flags]
```

## Examples

```text
template eject target-postgres bridge
Copies the PostgreSQL bridge-view template into
templates/target-postgres/bridge.sql.

template eject target-duckdb scd2 --path pcf/PCF-duckdb.yaml
Copies the DuckDB history-merge template for the project defined by the given
project file.
```
