Read the section titled Modifying the forum edit form in the docs. It explains how to use the template modification system which is what you need to do.

Let's build an add-on | XenForo

For some people, getting stuck straight into a project is the best way to learn, and the aim is that in the following sections you will learn how to build an add-on, from scratch. Be prepared; this isn't a simple 'Hello world' type demo. This is actually a fairly full featured demo add-on which...

my dear @ozzy47 i already added the modification to register_form template but my problem now how can save this to database

I extended register controller with this code:

protected function getRegistrationInput(\XF\Service\User\RegisterForm $regForm)
    {
        $input = parent::getRegistrationInput($regForm);
        $input['gender'] = $this->request->filter('gender' , 'int');

        return $input;
    }

Also i extended registration service with this code:

public function setFromInput(array $input)
    {
        if (isset($input['gender']))
        {
            $this->user->gender = $input['gender'];

        }

      return  parent::setFromInput($input);
    }

Finally add column to user entity but when i try to register new user gender column doesn't affected.

So i'm sure i miss somthing but i don't know where.

Finally add column to user entity

If you extended the user entity to add your column to the structure then it should work. (https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/dev/lets-build-an-add-on/#extending-the-thread-entity)
Ensure you have the event hint in your code event listener set to XF\Entity\User

@Bespoke Unfortunately it doesn't work and this is my Listener code:

public static function userEntityStructure(\XF\Mvc\Entity\Manager $em, \XF\Mvc\Entity\Structure &$structure)
    {
        $structure->columns['gender'] = ['type' => Entity::INT, 'default' => 0];
    }

I assume that you've also added your gender column to the User table either manually or through a Setup file in your add-on.
If you are sure your template modification is actually working and is providing you with a value, then I have no idea why it is not working for you.
Are you getting any errors?
