Not able to init custom template

[Norfeldt]

This might be the wrong place to post but tried following your example on how to make a react-native template.

Created a blank project template "TemplateExample" and dumped some fonts in a src/fonts folder (don't link it since I removed the ios and android folder).

Cleaned the package.json to

{
"name": "react-native-template-TemplateExample",
"version": "0.0.1"
}

Went out of the project folder (to the root that contains the TemplateExample folder) and tried

▶ react-native init test --template TemplateExample
...
Error: Command failed: yarn add react-native-template-TemplateExample --ignore-scripts

also tried

▶ react-native init test --template file://TemplateExample
...
Error: Command failed: yarn add file://TemplateExample --ignore-scripts

what am I doing wrong?

react-native init test --template file://TemplateExample should work. Not sure why it's failing for you. Looks like I need to go back through that guide and update things if it's not working anymore
