# `lium templates`

List and manage Docker templates used to create pods.

```bash
lium templates [SUBCOMMAND] [SEARCH] [OPTIONS]
```

When invoked with no subcommand, this is a search/list (the default). Subcommands let you create, update, or delete templates.

## Subcommands

| Subcommand | Purpose |
|------------|---------|
| `list` | List or search templates (default behavior) |
| `create …` | Create a new template |
| `update HUID …` | Update an existing template |
| `delete HUID` | Delete a template |

## Options for `list`

| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--category CAT` | Filter by category (`ml`, `web`, `database`, …) |
| `--format FORMAT` | Output format: `table`, `json`, `csv` |

## Examples

```bash
lium templates                       # List all templates
lium templates pytorch               # Search for pytorch
lium templates --category ml         # ML templates only
lium templates list --format json    # Machine-readable list

# Create / update / delete
lium templates create --name my-tpl --image pytorch/pytorch:2.4.0
lium templates update tpl-abc123 --name renamed
lium templates delete tpl-abc123
```
