-If your starter lives on a git repository, by default Kedro attempts to use a tag or branch labelled with your version of Kedro, e.g. `0.18.11`.

If you do not wish to follow this structure, you should override it with the `checkout` flag, e.g. `kedro new --starter=test_plugin_starter --checkout=main`.
