Degit execution does not work

[masterl]

Doc says to just run degit sveltejs/template svelte-app

Results:

$ degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
! could not find commit hash for master

EDIT:
OS: Linux Manjaro 18.1.0 Juhraya
Git is installed and I use it everyday without any problems.
git version 2.23.0
Node: v12.9.1
NPM: 6.11.2
Degit: 2.1.4

Cloning manually works, though.

Hi,
this is not an issue with svelte, nor this template, see here for further info and hints: Rich-Harris/degit#37
If nothing in there solves your issue, join the discussion there :)
And please close the issue here. Thanks.

[masterl]

That has nothing to do with the error I got.
I'm on Linux, not on mac.
Git is installed and I use it everyday.

I'll add these info on the first comment.

[masterl]

Oh, now I got what you meant.
Since it's an error on degit, I should discuss there. Ok.

But even so, the docs could be improved regarding this.

[squeal]

Yeah, the readme could mention that, agreed.

For what it's worth, I was having the same error and it turned out to be my employer's MITM SSL decryption cert. I was able to get around it by temporarily disabling ssl check with this:
npm config set strict-ssl false
Although now I am getting "! could not download https://github.com/sveltejs/template/archive/4b6ab60fe58c8404d674b58faa08659d832605cc.tar.gz" presumably because whatever is being used to download is also doing an certificate validation.

It seems to be something related to security issues.

I've made an npm install -g degit and after degit username/project and it worked!
