Creating new project giter8templateresolver does not download

A Giter8 template resolver issue!

When you run giter8 create or giter8 new to create a new project using a Giter8 template, the template resolver should download the template and create the project for you. If it's not downloading the template, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Let's troubleshoot together!

Here are some potential solutions to try:

  1. Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection. Giter8 needs to download the template from the specified repository, so a slow or non-existent connection might prevent the download.
  2. Verify the template URL: Double-check the template URL you're using. Ensure it's correct and valid. You can try copying the URL from the Giter8 template repository and pasting it into a web browser to verify it's accessible.
  3. Check the Giter8 version: Ensure you're using the latest version of Giter8. You can update Giter8 by running sbt giter8 update or sbt giter8 install.
  4. Try a different template: If you're using a specific template, try creating a new project with a different template to see if the issue persists. This will help you determine if the problem is template-specific or a general Giter8 issue.
  5. Check the project directory: Make sure the project directory you're trying to create is empty or doesn't contain any files that might interfere with the template creation process.
  6. Disable any firewall or antivirus software: Sometimes, firewall or antivirus software can block the download process. Try disabling them temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
  7. Check the Giter8 configuration: You can check your Giter8 configuration by running sbt giter8 config. Look for any settings that might be preventing the template download. You can also try resetting the configuration by running sbt giter8 reset.
  8. Try creating a project with a different method: Instead of using giter8 create or giter8 new, try creating a project using sbt new or sbt new <template-name>. This will help you determine if the issue is specific to Giter8 or a broader SBT issue.

If none of these solutions work, please provide more details about your environment, the template you're trying to use, and the error message you're seeing (if any). I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot the issue!
