failed to init from github enterprise (with a custom hostname) repository

what happened

1. command I use

vue init -c github:git.company.com:User/webpack-simple

1. I expected the vue-cli clones the git repo from the specific URL to initiate a new project.

2. but after answering the questions, it returns the following error:

vue-cli · Local template "git.company.com:User/webpack-simple" not found.

---

why it happens

I’ve checked the bin/vue-init file, It seems like it’s a conflict with the local template test, at here: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-cli/blob/master/bin/vue-init#L93-L94

./ - for Linux CWD,
\w: - for Windows Disk Volume?

But it DO CONFLICT with the given argument, because the download-git-repo doc says:

… you can also specify a custom host like gitlab:custom.com:owner/name. Feel free to submit an issue or pull request for additional host options.

---

In my case, I simply modified the file to bypass the local template testing:

#L94    if (!clone && /^[./]|(\w:)/.test(template)) {

Because I don’t know how to exactly test the local template path(so many scenarios), so this is an issue instead of PR.

When #341 should be released? I cloned the latest vue-cli repo & installed it locally, but I still fail to init from the custom gitlab which I am using. It gets stuck when ⠙ downloading template

‘templates/example’ will be github.com/templates/example

I think it’s better to add a switch to the command line arguments to specify whether to use a local template. Like:

vue init --local ${LOCAL_PATH}
