Description

This currently "works", but shouldn't:

npx ghat fregante/ghatemplates/supppppp.yml

It creates an empty supppppp.yml file instead of throwing. Related: https://github.com/Rich-Harris/degit/issues/129

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for the code that fetches the template file from the repository. Trace the path when the file does not exist and see where an error should be thrown but is not. Consider adding a check using the GitHub API or file system to verify existence before writing.
