Summary

The CLI now supports creating projects from pre-defined templates via mint new --template. The core flag documentation was already in place, but this PR adds:

  • How to combine --template with --theme to override a template's default theme
  • A link to the templates source repository so users can browse available templates
  • Updated wording to match the CLI's interactive prompts ("pick a theme" / "clone a template")

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes that adjust wording and add examples/links; no runtime behavior is modified.

Overview
Updates the mint new documentation to reflect the current interactive flow (pick a theme vs clone a template) and clarifies that templates come from the mintlify/templates GitHub repository.

Adds guidance and an example showing --template can be combined with --theme to override a template’s default theme, plus a link for browsing available templates.
