Documentation Inconsistency: Starter Kit Git Mode Flag
Current Documentation
The documentation at URL states that private repositories can be downloaded using:
npm init adonisjs@latest -- -K="user/repo" --mode=git
Actual Behavior
The --mode=git flag is not recognized by the CLI, resulting in:

Expected Behavior
According to the CLI help (npm init adonisjs@latest -- --help), the correct way to handle private repositories is to use the -t, --token flag

npm init adonisjs@latest -- -K="organization/repo" -t="github_token"
Proposed Documentation Update
The documentation should be updated to:
- Remove the
--mode=git reference
- Add information about using the
-t, --token flag for private repositories
- Include examples for both personal and organization repositories
Additional Context
This issue affects users trying to set up new AdonisJS projects from private repositories, especially those hosted in organizations.
