Known issues
gotchanpm 7+ requires extra double-dash (--) before template option, but yarn/pnpm/bun do not.
fix
Use `npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template vue` (with `--`). For yarn: `yarn create vite my-app --template vue` (no `--`).
affects: >=1.0.0
breakingVite 5 dropped support for Node.js <18. Some templates may require Node.js 20+.
fix
Upgrade Node.js to 18+ (prefer 20+). Check template requirements.
affects: >=5.0.0
deprecatedTemplate option `--template react-ts` is now `react-swc-ts` in newer versions? Actually, both exist. But `react-ts` is still valid.
fix
Use `react-swc-ts` for better performance, or keep `react-ts` for standard compiler.
affects: >=4.0.0
