Timber use different template for custom post type

I am completely new to PHP, Wordpress and Timber. I have a custom post type called Projects, it uses the posts archive template and I am going crazy to create a specific Projects archive template so I can have a different layout for it.

This is what my index.twig looks like 

{% extends "layouts/base.twig" %}

{% block content %}
  <div class="uk-child-width-1-3@m" uk-grid uk-scrollspy="cls: uk-animation-fade; target: > div > .uk-card; delay: 500; repeat: false">
{% for post in posts %}
    {% include "tease-post.twig" %}
{% endfor %}
  </div>
{% endblock %}

and this is the tease-post.twig

{% block content %}
<div>
    <div class="uk-card uk-card-default">
            <div class="uk-card-media-top">
                    <a href="{{post.link}}"><img src="{{post.thumbnail.src('full')}}" alt=""></a>
            </div>
            <div class="uk-card-body">
                    <h3 class="uk-card-title"><a href="{{post.link}}" class="uk-button uk-button-text">{{post.title}}</a></h3>
                    <p>{{post.get_preview(25,false,false,true)}}</p>
            </div>
            <div class="uk-card-footer">
                    <a href="{{post.link}}" class="uk-button uk-button-text">Read more</a>
            </div>
    </div>
</div>
{% endblock %}

Any idea how it works? Can't find any related documentation..

There are a few diff't methods depending on what you're looking to achieve. It would seem the simplest is...

{% extends "layouts/base.twig" %}

{% block content %}
    <div class="uk-child-width-1-3@m" uk-grid uk-scrollspy="cls: uk-animation-fade; target: > div > .uk-card; delay: 500; repeat: false">
    {% for post in posts %}
        {% include "tease-'~ post.type ~'.twig" %}
    {% endfor %}
    </div>
{% endblock %}

You could then create a file called tease-project.twig (assuming that `project is the name of your custom post type's slug) that might look something like this...

{# tease-project.twig #}
<h2>My cool project is... {{ post.title }}</h2>

If you're looking to do something special with a CPT's specific archive page...

Check your archive.php file, if you're using the starter theme it should load a file called archive-projects.twig (assuming that projects is the name of the custom post type).

The logic is fully customizable so you can load any .twig files you want depending on the circumstance
