Creating a plugin from the template fails

[robotex82]

Describe the Bug

When following the documentation at https://payloadcms.com/docs/plugins/build-your-own and trying to create a new plugin from the template with the given command npx create-payload-app@latest -t plugin -n my-new-plugin the command fails with:

❯ npx create-payload-app@latest -t plugin -n multi-tenancy


┌   create-payload-app

◇   ────────────────────────────────────────────╮

│                                               │
├───────────────────────────────────────────────╯
│
■  'plugin' is not a valid template.
│
◇  Valid templates: blank, website

The expected output would be a success with a created plugin folder structure.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
