Is there a way we can fix this in the CLI? It seems prohibitive to have to say "templates cannot contain a dot". What are the supported extensions if pointing to a file - .tgz and maybe .git? Maybe we can only try to download the file if it matches those and otherwise treat it as a folder in a repo?

@markdalgleish Do you know if this is still an issue in the new v2 create-remix CLI? If so is it something we can handle?

Just tried running npx create-remix@nightly test-project --template examples/socket.io and got the following error:

      ◼  Directory: Using test-project as project directory

      ◼  Template: Using remix-run/examples/socket.io...

      ▲  Oh no! "examples/socket.io" is an invalid template. Run create-remix --help to see supported template formats.

Same when trying with remix-run/examples/socket.io:

      ◼  Directory: Using test-project as project directory

      ◼  Template: Using remix-run/examples/socket.io...

      ▲  Oh no! "remix-run/examples/socket.io" is an invalid template. Run create-remix --help to see supported template formats.

I'm going to close this in favor of allowing shorthand folders to contain dots in remix-run/remix#7277
