Repro:

• Install .NET Core 2.1.4 SDK on Windows
• Execute dotnet new -i "giraffe-template::*"
• Execute dotnet new giraffe

Expected:
A project is created

Actual:
I get a help message. I've tried specifying the ViewEngine as well to no avail.

I'm getting the same thing, just when I wanted to try out giraffe for the first time too.
dotnet --version reports 2.1.4

Edit: Ah, found it, you need to add -lang F# due to a bug that has been fixed downstream.

Hi, Yes this is a very annoying bug which is causing a lot of confusion unfortunately. It has been fixed ages ago but not been released by Microsoft yet 😣. I'll document it in the README later tonight! Workaround is described here: #8 (comment)

I've added a note to the README now. Hope this helps new people coming to Giraffe!
