Provide a way to reuse the library coordinate for the template, without incurring deps about deps-new HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm still having a hard time understanding what you're suggesting.

To have deps-new process a template, it needs two things: a template "name" (to produce a path to template.edn relative to the classpath and for that to be on the classpath :)

So, generally, you need something like:

clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {io.github.the-org/the-lib {:git/tag "v1.2.3" :git/sha "a1b2c3d"}}}' -Tnew :template some.name/space :name your.project/name

The coordinates exist just to get stuff on the classpath (thank you, CLI). The template name exists just to figure out the relative path to template.edn. There's no concept of a "project" involved -- deps-new doesn't know anything about how the classpath was constructed, and it doesn't use tools.deps.alpha, although since tools.build brings that in, it could (but I'd rather stick with tools.build to create a basis). There's no deps.edn in play here.

Ah, I see. I hadn't figured that out yet... I also hadn't noticed the limitation on requiring git/local coordinates either. Yeah, I can't see a straightforward way to handle this until tdeps supports activating aliases in other projects.

Okay to close this out then?

I think so, yeah!
