Type of problem

The instructions say to git clone the project repo. This was based on the instructions in the original repo from which this project was forked. However, this project is now a subfolder in the curriculum repo so we cannot use the URL for the project folder as the git clone source URL.

Suggested Solution

Change the instructions to indicate several ways to download a copy:

  1. Clone the entire curriculum repo and navigate to the specific project subfolder (in this case projects/2023TemplateWithVite)
  2. Use a downloader such as https://download-directory.github.io (a popular but unofficial github service)
  3. Do a sparse clone (see https://git-scm.com/docs/sparse-checkout)
    git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/Techtonica/curriculum.git
    cd curriculum
    git sparse-checkout set projects/2023TemplateWithVite
    

Once the copy is downloaded:

  • Move the 2023TemplateWithVite folder wherever you want the new project and rename it to your project
