This option extracts your distribution's default template to the target directory. This option will generate a template according to your settings. If you use the targetPackage option then a template will be generated for each package you configured.

cqtdeployer -bin myExecutable getDefaultTemplate qif

This command generate template for qt installer framework into DistributionKit folder for your "myExecutable" programm.
