I’ve lost all hope for solving this. I’m lost and have no ideas left on what to do. Please help.

Not sure that your syntax is correct… the strapi starter CLI will take sew-ed as your local folder where the starter will create your final full-stack app, but you don’t have the last command line parm that would indicate what strapi starter repo (on github) to use.

I have an example of the syntax in my boiler plate starter for custom starter development here: GitHub - strapi-training/strapi-starter-to-customize (in the Misc Notes section)

(also, i recently tweeted about my recent video series about custom starters: https://twitter.com/monico_moreno/status/1386834033179602946 )
