If you try to visit https://undefined.com/start/netlify-templates/next-starter-jamstack/ (the website which is probably the source repo which Netlify is trying to clone), you can see that Chrome (and probably other browsers) will show an error that connection is not private. It’s basically some error with the SSL of that URL. This isn’t a solution, but a description of what the error is. The problem is probably the link here: Static Site Generators - Top Open Source SSGs | Jamstack

This is just my guess.

same question. Do I have to have my own SSL certs? Why can’t I use netlify subdomain SSL certs?

I can’t establish a relation between the opening question and your question. What does this have to with your SSL?

hey @fangjijob - I am having trouble understanding as well. Can you try and explain what you are trying to do in a different way? thanks!

Could it be that ‘undefined.com’ is a bug in the javascript within jamstack.org ?

Hey @TMorgan00,
Was just digging up your post to share here: Deploy from templates - #3 by TMorgan00 Yeah, it looks like we may have a bug somewhere. I’ll leave a note for us to look into it and possibly escalate to an engineering team next week :memo:

Circling back here- apparently this was in fact a bug that was fixed on Friday with Fix Deploy to Netlify button by huguestennier · Pull Request #435 · jamstack/jamstack.org · GitHub :partying_face: Please let us know if you’re still running into this!

yes much better, and thanks
