I have SBT, Scala, and giter8. When I type g8 on the command line it says that it's installed fine, but when I use it to set up a template from a GitHub repository, i.e.
g8 ajhager/libgdx-sbt-project
it throws the following exception:

Error during sbt execution: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid wildcard

What's causing it? I use PowerShell, and just trying to get a libgdx sbt project set up.
It may be that the environment(s) - Git Shell / PowerShell - you execute g8 in interferes and hence the error.
Execute g8 in cmd on Windows so no git-related configurations would come into effect.
