如何针对特定项目禁用文件头模板功能？

In most professional development workflows, requiring a standard header comment block in every file is pretty common—whether for copyright tracking, team attribution, or keeping documentation consistent across your codebase.

Xcode provides a default file header template right out of the box. Here’s what that default looks like:

//
//  Filename.swift
//  ProjectName
//
//  Created by Your Name on Date.
//  Copyright © Year Your Company. All rights reserved.
//

For daily work, most teams set up a custom version of this template that includes valid copyright information, team-specific details, or other metadata that matters to their workflow. But here’s the catch: this customization is typically done at the installation level of Xcode, not on a per-project basis.

What this means in practice is that once you’ve configured your custom header, it applies to every single project you create—even quick test projects, personal utility tools, or throwaway playgrounds. You don’t have to re-set it up for each new project, which is a time-saver, but it also means those formal header comments get inserted automatically even when you don’t necessarily need them for small, informal projects.

If you ever want to tweak this behavior, you’d need to edit the template files directly in Xcode’s application bundle (usually found under Contents/Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/File Templates/Source), or use a tool that helps manage Xcode templates more flexibly. Just keep in mind that updating Xcode might overwrite these custom changes, so backing up your modified templates is a smart move.
