I have created a cookiecutter template. When I run it using the address from my directory in my computer, it works. However, I want to use cruft to be able to update my projects. It seems to require the template to be in a repository. So I have loaded my cookiecutter template in my repo and called cookiecutter git/repo/address. It seemed to work, since it asked all the questions required for all directories and files. However, as it was about to finish, it gave me the following error:

Any idea what is happening? Thanks! P.S. I am microbiologist with some experience in coding and working with Linux. Please think about the microbiologist part when answering ;-) ... I am still learning and advance CS language is limited :-)
What I have tried ...
I have verified that my cookiecutter template is still working after git init (just in case) by creating a new project using the absolute address of the directory as argument for the cookiecutter. It works but not from the git.
when I tried again to call it:

it is not better and it tells me something about a .cookiecutters stored in my profile. I made a copy of the .cookiecutters directory inside the miniconda3... no change...
New trial but failed
I kept thinking about the search in the conda environment, so I decided to deactivate conda completely and install cookiecutter with pip3 in my computer, then calling the cookiecutter as I did before. No use. Same error...
