You need to say what type of metal garage door.

What works for a one piece tilt up metal door wont work for a roller door and may or may not work for the multiple piece folding metal doors.

Google is your friend.

Many more articles and videos on this topic.

I'm thinking of doing mine. They sell kits with either rigid foam or fiberglass. I'm thinking the fiberglass may be easier to get behind the metal reinforcement as this is a hurricane code door.

Foam board siding- faced or unfaced.

Cut to match each panel using box cutter or similar; attach with construction adhesive.
