Why can't I see the "Use this template" on the manuscript-template-rstudio Github repository?

Description

I want to follow the first step to clone the template repository, but I don't have the option (see image). Is there anything I need to change on my side?

Thanks

You can still clone the repo, but I think we just forgot to enable the "template repo" option there.

Just so. I just enabled it, sorry!

Thanks!

I'm still struggling to get going with this. I now clicked on the "GitHub to create a new repository from the template" which takes you to (https://github.com/quarto-ext/manuscript-template-rstudio/generate) but I can only create a new repository, not clone the template (see image).

That's how "use template" works.
It allows you to create a new repository from the template repository which is like a fork but you don't get "upstream".

If you want to fork it, then fork it.
