`sf dev generate library` does not seem to be working properly

[catalandres]

Summary

The command sf dev generate library does not produce the expected result.

Steps To Reproduce

• Run the command sf dev generate library, hit enter. 🙂

Expected result

Quoting the help of the command, emphasis added:

This command is interactive. You're prompted for information to populate the new library, such as the npm scope (which must start with "@"), the name and description of the library, and its GitHub organization. The command clones the 'forcedotcom/library-template' GitHub repository, installs the library's npm package dependencies using yarn install, and updates the package properties. When the command completes, your new library contains a few sample source and test files to get you started.

Actual result

% sf dev generate library
Time to build a library!
? Npm Scope (should start with @) @catalandres
? Name some-library
? Description Meh
? Github Org catalandres
Cloning into '[...]/some-library'...
ERROR: Repository not found.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
✖ An error occured while running sf:library#prompting

We've updated the templates used for the libraries - this should be fixed now 😄
