How to change default template in Yii2?

I am using the Yii 2 Advanced Application Template, the AdminLTE Asset Bundle and the Gii code generator.

Here is my example:

enter image description here

I need to change the template so I can remove the "Create Lab Tipos Movimientos" button (and modify some things more).

I am removing every button after Gii create the CRUD but I would like to change the template so Gii can do it automatically.

I have not done it myself, but I found this Guide by SamDark in Github that explains how to create your own template. This is the url: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-gii/blob/master/docs/guide/topics-creating-your-own-templates.md

Additionally, if you just want to eliminate the "Create Lab Tipos Movimiento" button you can try modifying the current template which if I am not wrong is located inside the folder vendor/yiisoft/yii2-gii/generators/crud/default/views and the file should be index.php. There you can try deleting or better yet commenting the part of the code that says: 

<p>
    <?= "<?= " ?>Html::a(<?= $generator->generateString('Create ' . Inflector::camel2words(StringHelper::basename($generator->modelClass))) ?>, ['create'], ['class' => 'btn btn-success']) ?>
</p>

I suggest you to make a copy of the files you modify just in case anything goes wrong.

Hope this helps you. Have a great day.

EDIT:

Additionally following the answer of schmunk to a very similar question in stack overflow found here: How to use custom templates in gii (using Yii 2)

There is apparently a Gii extension in beta phase to help you in this situation called yii2-giiant found here: https://github.com/schmunk42/yii2-giiant (maybe there are similar extensions that are in a more advanced phase of development, google search should help with that)

Once you have create your own template for gii
You can change the default template for gii assigning the new template values in main.php (main-local.php)

assigning the proper parameter to gii module

   .....
   $config['modules']['gii'] = [
        //'class' => 'yii\gii\Module',  
        'class' => 'your_gii_module_path\Module',         
        'allowedIPs' => ['127.0.0.1', '::1', ],  
        'generators' => [ //here
            'crud' => [ // generator name
                //'class' => 'yii\gii\generators\crud\Generator', // generator class
                'class' => 'your_gii_module_path\generators\crud\Generator', // generator class
                'templates' => [ //setting for out templates
                    // template name => path to template
                    'your_crud_entry' => 'your_absolute_path_\your_gii_module_path\generators\crud\default', 
                ]
            ]
        ],
    ];
    .......
