How do I change the name of a dotnet new template when creating new projects?

Question

I've created a dotnet template for use with dotnet new. When creating new projects from this template, it works fine however the assembly and namespace name is still "Template", rather than the new project.

I've tried creating a new project and manually setting the name with the --name flag and --output flag, but to no avail.

I suspect there's a variable I can use somewhere, perhaps in the template.json file?

Thanks,

You have to set template then use option params like -n param and give name. For example,

dotnet new web -n myBestName
