The following options can be provided at the command line.

-t <template> / --template <template>#

A local directory path or URL to use as a cookiecutter template for the new project. Briefcase will attempt to use a template branch matching the version of Briefcase that is being used (i.e., if you’re using Briefcase 0.3.9, Briefcase will use the v0.3.9 template branch when generating the app). If you’re using a development version of Briefcase, Briefcase will use the main branch of the template.
