Research direction

Start by reproducing project creation from Terminal on macOS and inspect the full output from the post_gen_project hook script, since the issue only identifies its failure and exit status. The work is done when the project can be generated successfully and the hook exits without error.

Description

Hi, I’ve been trying to create a project for a while now using this repo but I keep getting an error that prevents me to do so. For reference this is what the error looks like - ERROR: Stopping generation because post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully Hook script failed (exit status: 1)
I was wondering if there is a solution to this issue yet and/or if there is anything I should change locally to fix it? (If it helps, I’m trying to run it on a Terminal/MacOS)
