Description

ghat is currently build around degit, which only supports remote URLs.

Having it also support local paths would be useful, e.g.:

npx ghat /Users/fregante/Web/projects-modules/ghatemplates

The easy way to support this would be with absolute paths (starting with / or C:)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the source resolution logic to detect local absolute paths and use degit's local mode or file system copy instead of remote download.
