degit seems to ignore https_proxy settings according to this pull request. I am the guy who often uses a proxy in the company, so it is a little annoying to see the error of ! could not download https://github.com/solidjs/templates/archive/.... And degit is not actively maintained for 4 years so it might be impossible to let them merge some modifications.

tiged, which is a fork of degit, seems to resolve this problem according to this issue.

Well, this has nothing to do with the library code. It is because the wiki recommends us to use npx degit, globally replace it into npx tiged should be fine.
