You can use `pulumi new ~/path/to/template` to create a project from a local template.

Am i mistaken, or does this have to be an absolute path?

because ./local/dir didn't work, but /absolute/path did

Good question and I don't know off the top of my head.

Relative path seems to work for me although not using `./local/dir`

 `~/local/dir` works, as well as, `../local/dir` . Im on OSX btw.

interesting. ~ makes sense because it autoexpands, but ../ is surprising. im on osx too, but i a devcontainer on ubuntu. incidentally, im set, i can figure out my path :wink:
