you can change like this

/^\.{1,2}\/|^\w:|^\//.test(template) 

@likun7981

// it will be failed on
/^\.{1,2}\/|^\w:|^\//.test('templates/example')

'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}

This is not wrong, 'templates/example' is not a local path , it should return false

These tests are all right

var localPathRegx = /^\.{1,2}\/|^\w:|^\//  

localPathRegx.test('../')  //true
localPathRegx.test('./')  //true
localPathRegx.test('c:/') //true
localPathRegx.test('template/example')  //false
localPathRegx.test('github:git.company.com:User/webpack-simple')  //false

Should be fixed now with #341. (although, not yet released with atm).

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

@edwardnevermind can't really say :/ but you can use npm install -g vuejs/vue-cli for now to install it directly from GitHub.
