*dotnet new giraffe* not working | dotnet -v = 2.1.104

[wiredsister]

I installed the Giraffe template suite via the instructions on the README.md and when I do:

dotnet new -h it shows me the Giraffe template, as well as some other web templates.

I tried to run dotnet new giraffe --IncludeTests --UsePaket -n HttpProjectName and got nothing except the help output on how to use the Giraffe template. If I fat-finger the flags, like, --UsePkt it gives the correct argument warning. I then tried just running dotnet new giraffe which also didn't work-- just gave the help output. Installing other non-giraffe templates like the default console or mvc for dotnet works. I'm using powershell.

Here is the help output I see in my shell:

PS Y:\Repos\HttpSeedProject> dotnet new giraffe --IncludeTests --UsePaket -n HttpSeedProject
Usage: new [options]

  -u, --uninstall     Uninstalls a source or a template pack.
  --type              Filters templates based on available types. Predefined values are "project", "item" or "other".
  --force             Forces content to be generated even if it would change existing files.
  -lang, --language   Specifies the language of the template to create.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong or how I can debug? Thanks for your time. Gina

Fixed this myself by needing to explicitly pass in -lang F# thanks to help from Gien Verschatse (@selketjah on Slack). Hope this helps then next newb :]
