I have now got this working directly from github. The benefit of this is that there is no ‘dotnet new’ templating being invoked. The downside is that there is no template processing of project name or command line options.
Now I simply:
au template or…
au template -o {folder-name} or…
au template -output {folder-name}
Follow the CLI options wizard.
The two available test templates are hosted and pulled from GitHub. An MVC Webpack template and another that has Aurelia Materialize Bridge. Maintaining and updating templates could be much easier this way?
