+Bootstrapping Templates
+-----------------------
+
+The templates for Bastille are all in github and mirror the directory 
+structure of the ports tree.  So, nginx is in the www directory in the
+templates just like it is in the FreeBSD ports tree.  To bootstrap the
+entire set of predefined templates run the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+   bastille bootstrap https://github.com/bastillebsd/templates
+
+This will install into the /usr/local/bastille/templates directory all the 
+templates.  Now you can use bastille template command to apply the templates.
