Can I change the content of default files in a Visual Studio project type?

Question

In Visual Studio 2019, when I create a new .NET Framework Console Application in C#, it places the entry point in a class called Program in a file named Program.cs and a namespace with the same name as my project:

namespace ProjectName
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            
        }
    }
}

I always just end up removing the namespace and renaming the class and file to EntryPoint ( .cs ), putting the entry point class in the global namespace.

sealed class EntryPoint
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        
    }
}

Is there any way I can make this the default behavior for all new projects of this type from now on without manually doing that each time? In other words, can I change how the default files in this type of project look?

From the docs :

By default, templates installed with Visual Studio are located in:

• %ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\[edition]\\Common7\\IDE\\ProjectTemplates\\[Language]\\[Locale ID]

For example on my machine - C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Community\\Common7\\IDE\\ProjectTemplates
