Premade Design Rules Templates

Greetings,
I watched a 2019 tutorial video where the teacher import all the Design Rules + many useful premade Tracks (settings), all set-up to fit a few different main PCB manufacturers, he had files for PCBway, Jlcpcb, etc etc…
Apparently he just import those templates through the “Import Settings From Another Board” button in the Board Settings.
He said he found them on a git repo; I have been searching for 2h and can’t find any.
Is it really that there aren’t any premade Design Rules & Tracks templates for KiCad 7 ? Do I have to type every little specs from the PCB manufacturer ?

Help would be greatly appreciated please, if anyone have links for some of those premade Design Rules / Templates :pray:

A very quick search:

Finds things like:

Thanks a lot for your answer.
I struggled sooo hard to find it, alas it’s a bit old, I’m very surprised to not find any recent templates

These days you can also use the Plugin & Content Manager in KiCad’s project manager. There are plugins from several manufacturers and some go as far as putting an order button for a PCB directly into KiCad’s PCB editor (The Aisler plugin does this).

I have not done much with these plugins, so I do not know what else they do.
