Using template as specified does not seem to work about examples

[lasas]

I guess this is because of the . in the folder name as doing npx create-remix@latest --template examples/tailwindcss just works as expected

Well, I tried it and it doesn't work for me, errors with: Oh no! There was a problem fetching the file from GitHub. The request responded with a 404 status. Please try again later.

But workaround using full repository name worked: npx create-remix@latest --template https://github.com/remix-run/examples/tree/main/tailwindcss.

I experience the same thing. Seems it has not been fixed yet.

For this error, try adding remix-run/ to the front of the template parameter. The docs use a remix-run/examples/<example-dir> format but the README uses a examples/<example-dir> format. I opened a PR to update the README: #435

Edit: As for the original socket.io issue, I did a quick test and adding remix-run/ seems to work, but examples/socket.io still shows the same issue.

      ▲  Oh no! "examples/socket.io" is an invalid template. Run create-remix --help to see supported template formats.
