Installing from a template not working

Astro Info
I don't think this is relevant since I'm having an issue with `npm create astro@lastest`.
If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?
No response
Describe the Bug
If I try to run npm create astro@latest with a template, it fails:
% npm create astro@latest -- --template mickasmt/astro-nomy
> npx
> create-astro --template mickasmt/astro-nomy
astro Launch sequence aborted.
▲ error Template mickasmt/astro-nomy could not be found!
◼ check https://astro.build/examples
npm error code 1
npm error path /Users/christian/Development/timeline
npm error command failed
npm error command sh -c create-astro --template mickasmt/astro-nomy
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /Users/christian/.npm/_logs/2024-11-15T18_36_23_209Z-debug-0.log
I've tried a couple templates and have got the same result.
What's the expected result?
Creating from a template works, as described in the docs:
https://docs.astro.build/en/install-and-setup/#use-a-theme-or-starter-template
Link to Minimal Reproducible Example
npm create astro@latest -- --template mickasmt/astro-nomy
Participation
- I am willing to submit a pull request for this issue.
Hmm, it seems like maybe the one in my example and the others I tried aren't valid templates?
Do templates need to be verified before they can be listed on https://astro.build/themes/?
Oh I think I might understand now - the repos that fail use branch name master instead of main. The @bluwy/giget-core code that Astro uses when fetching templates defaults to main. If I change my install command to specify branch #master, it works.
npm create astro@latest -- --template mickasmt/astro-nomy#master
I wonder if that should be documented or handled automatically by the npm create astro command?
