How to set TemplateDir values for git in Eclipse plug-in?

Question

I'm able to set init.templatedir as 'C:\UserGit' in Git Bash and it is working fine.

But I need a same for EGit, i.e when I clone repository from eclipse templateDir should be executed.
Is that possible?

Answer 1

EGit is based on a Java implementation of Git, called JGit.

And JGit does not seem to support/implement the template_dir option from a git init command: see this search.
