create-next-app with --example-path not working

[glpecile]

Summary

I tried creating a next app from a template and saw in the documentation the --example-path parameter. However every time I run it with the path of the template repo I'd like to use I get the default create-next-app steps.

Additional information

A small reproduction repo of what I'm doing is added below as an example.

Example

https://github.com/glpecile/example-path-repro

Aha, I think that parameter is to be used when you also pass a GitHub URL example. Like in your case:

npx create-next-app --example "https://github.com/glpecile/example-path-repro" --example-path "src/repro" delete-me-example-path

But it is not to be used for local file system starters.

Makes sense @icyJoseph, thank you for the response!

It would be nice to support a use case like having a template from the local file system. Specially for templates that should remain private.

No worries. Maybe mark this as answered for now, and add a feature request, for your use case. Maybe add a little motivation, about why it would be easier than manually copying the template yourself.

Just marked it as answered, and created the feature request here. Thank you @icyJoseph.
