Error with cookiecutter

[oipotty]

Hello! I'm running into an issue when I try and run cookiecutter on the repo. I've went through the steps outlined in the ReadMe. I am running Python 3, and have successfully installed npm and node. However, my code returns an error when trying to run cookiecutter https://github.com/plotly/dash-component-boilerplate.git.

I've seen #23 and I'm still not quite sure if I'm running into the same issue.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for reporting! Looking at

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['git', 'clone', 'https://github.com/plotly/dash-component-boilerplate.git']' returned non-zero exit status 128.

it appears that the git clone step didn't work. Do you have git installed locally?

Hey Chris, Thanks for the response. Git is installed locally as shown below and works as usual with another repo.

odd, cloning this repo works fine for me (using either https or ssh), perhaps there's some sort of proxying in your network that's doing something repo-specific? Anyway, here's one possible workaround

git config --global http.sslVerify false

Works great. Must have been the network proxy. Thanks a lot for the quick responses!
