it's create-vue@2.2.0
His last update was a year ago.

The main point is:

1. node 16 is outdate
2. The latest "vite" is v5.

Hi @baboon-king

As Vue 2 is officially end of life (see https://blog.vuejs.org/posts/vue-2-eol), I think most contributors like myself spend their free time fixing the issues with Vue 3 in priority.

If you feel like it, feel free to open a PR to fix this and we'll gladly review it and merge it!

As Vue 2 is officially end of life ....

First of all! Thank you for your reply.

I'll try it. It will start soon.

Hi! Excuse me.

I've read the codes.

Because this repository doesn't have a Contribution Guide

Before starting to work, if you can briefly explain how it works or what I need to pay attention to.

This will help me do this better.

Thanks!😃

I never contributed to the Vue 2 version so I don't know if I can really help, but here is what I know:

• the branch to use is https://github.com/vuejs/create-vue/tree/v2
• you can build create-vue with pnpm build
• you can generate the various projects with pnpm snapshot
• you can test them with pnpm test

Make sure that all the tests are successful locally and you can then open a PR 👍
Maybe start with small changes first (node 16 or Vue 2 version for example). Then you can take a look at what we did for Vite v5 on the main branch.

I never contributed to the Vue 2 version so I don't know if I can.....

Thank you very much 🙏.

These have been tips very informative. Thank you.
