downloading the starterkit. this may take a few minutes...
finished downloading the starterkit...
failed to extract the starterkit. easiest solution is to manually download it and copy <path>./dist</path to ./source/...
Editing Fetch.php to not swallow up the error, the actual error is that pattern-lab seems to pass an illegal combination of arguments to tar.
Unable to execute the following command '/bin/tar' '--extract' '--file=/tmp/pl-sk/pl-sk-archive.tar.gzUDLl04' '--overwrite-dir' '--overwrite' '--gzip' '--directory' '/tmp/pl-sk/pl-sk-archive' {output: /bin/tar: '--overwrite' cannot be used with '--overwrite-dir'
Try '/bin/tar --help' or '/bin/tar --usage' for more information.

looks like this is the fix alchemy-fr/Zippy@fceaa04. need to unlock zippy from ^0.3 so the 0.4 branch with the fix can be used. Don't know what the impact of that is though.
Update zippy library

this is still broken. Can we reopen #121?

@EvanLovely since you closed the merge request before, is there a way to push this forward. Best I can tell patternlab is totally unusable in Linux ATM.
