Basically the title! I'm pretty new to Xcode and I just was learning about Xcode templates. Currently, I'm trying to work on a C++ project that has header / libs in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib respectively. That requires me to go to Search Paths in Build Settings and type in the file path for each new project. Is there a way to do this automatically using a "InsertProjectType" template and have it automically have the header / library search paths filled in? Thank you!

Yes you can add this as a SharedSetting inside your template and it will automatically be set for your newly created project:

<key>Targets</key>
	<array>
		<dict>
			<key>SharedSettings</key>
			<dict>
				<key>HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS</key>
				<array>
					<string>/usr/local/include</string>
					<string>/usr/local/lib</string>
				</array>
			</dict>
		</dict>
	</array>
