"gh repo create --template" creates an empty repository locally #2290
Description
Describe the bug
gh repo create --template only uses the template remotely. Locally, the created repository is empty.
gh version:
gh version 1.1.0 (2020-10-06)
https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/latest
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Type this 'gh repo create --template FabricMC/fabric-example-mod my-mod'
- Select Private (may be unimportant, but this was what I did)
- Look at the locally created Git repository
- See no files from the template
Expected vs actual behavior
I would have expected gh to locally create the files too, and that the initial commit is in my history. However, both did not happen.
Both happened on the server though.
