Is there a way to skip the copy template files when I create a new project. I am getting this error whenever I try to make a new project?
I get the same error with npm as well
Or perhaps specify a version maybe?

I'd open an issue on the GitHub repo, but for now you can probably use degit to download an example repo. It won't do all the setup steps, but it should give you a working template.
For example, if you wanted the minimal template:
npx degit withastro/astro/examples/minimal meerkat

Thank you, let me try that
I got
! could not fetch remote https://github.com/withastro/astro
! could not find commit hash for HEAD
hmm, that's odd. looks like you might be having issues with git/github?
are you able to clone other repos fine?
mossy mica
yes , I can clone fine
radiant meadow
then as a last resort, I guess you could clone the astro repo with --depth=1 and cp the example you want 😅 not very ideal though
mossy mica
so say i want the minimal one, the full command would be :
git clone https://github.com/withastro/astro --depth=1 cp minimal
like that?
radiant meadow
this to clone the astro repo (you'll only need to ever do this once)
git clone https://github.com/withastro/astro --depth=1
then this to copy an example to a folder
cp astro/examples/minimal my-app
as separate commands? one after the other?
radiant meadow
yep
mossy mica
Let me first say - i'm on windows
I did the the git clone - astro folder has been copied , the cp command says:cp: -r not specified; omitting directory 'astro/examples/minimal'
radiant meadow
ah yeah, -r copies recursively (also I think I slightly mistyped the command. you might need cp astro/examples/minimal/* my-app). either way you can copy via the command line, or using file explorer
