 ## Community Templates
 
-create-vite is a tool to quickly start a project from a basic template for popular frameworks. Check out Awesome Vite for [community maintained templates](https://github.com/vitejs/awesome-vite#templates) that include other tools or target different frameworks. You can use a tool like [degit](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/degit) to scaffold your project with one of the templates.

+
+For a template at `https://github.com/user/project`, you can try it out online using `https://github.stackblitz.com/user/project` (adding `.stackblitz` after `github` to the URL of the project).
+
+You can also use a tool like [degit](https://github.com/Rich-Harris/degit) to scaffold your project with one of the templates. Assuming the project is on GitHub and uses `main` as the default branch, you can create a local copy using:
 
 ```bash
-npx degit user/project my-project
+npx degit user/project#main my-project
 cd my-project
 
 npm install
 npm run dev
 ```
 
-If the project uses `main` as the default branch, suffix the project repo with `#main`
-
-```bash
-npx degit user/project#main my-project
-```

 ## `index.html` and Project Root
 
 One thing you may have noticed is that in a Vite project, `index.html` is front-and-central instead of being tucked away inside `public`. This is intentional: during development Vite is a server, and `index.html` is the entry point to your application.
