Hello @Roland_Schatzle and welcome!
You can reduce the size of the repo further with a sparse-checkout.
Something like
git clone --depth 1 --no-checkout --filter="tree:0" git@github.com:typst/packages
... // cd into the folder
git sparse-checkout init
git sparse-checkout set packages/preview/[your-package-name]
git checkout main

in-pack: 3638
packs: 4
size-pack: 1745
prune-packable: 0
garbage: 0

In your scenario, you should simply create a new folder with the name of your template, and add it to packages/preview/[name]/[version] on your fork. You should commit the changes, and then GitHub should suggest to create a new PR. If that’s not the case, you can create a new PR yourself at Compare · typst/packages · GitHub
