Examples:
    dotnet new mvc --auth Individual
    dotnet new console
    dotnet new --help

Expected behavior

The command should install the template with the default nuget source

Actual behavior

The command fail if we don't specify the nuget source.
We need to specify --nuget-source :

dotnet new -i Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Templates --nuget-source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

If I specified the nuget source it works

Copied from original issue: dotnet/cli#8883

From the error & from the fact that passing the package source directly works, there seems to be a NuGet.config file somewhere above the .templateEngine directory in your user profile that indicates that that source should be used (and cannot be found). I'd suggest removing the missing feed from the NuGet.config as the failure to restore with unreachable feeds in use is by design for NuGet NuGet/Home#5607

[aguacongas]

@mlorbetske I did not find any NuGet.config above %userprofile%\.templateEngine on my machine...
But my default nuget.config in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\NuGet contains the url to our internal feed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
    <add key="CliFallbackFolder" value="%userprofile%\.dotnet\NuGetFallbackFolder" />
    <add key="SIEN" value="https://nuget.ne.ch/api/odata" />
  </packageSources>
  <packageRestore>
    <add key="enabled" value="True" />
    <add key="automatic" value="True" />
  </packageRestore>
  <bindingRedirects>
    <add key="skip" value="False" />
  </bindingRedirects>
</configuration>

In my opinion, that souldn't be an issue

Unfortunately, the error you’re seeing is from NuGet and is related to not being able to reach that feed. Following up on the referenced issue would be the best course of action for pursuing this.
