Unable to run custom nuclei template

[ayusheek]

Hi, I am using nuclei pre-compiled binary downloaded from releases page, and it is able to scan websites using pre-installed template. However, when I try to use any custom template it throws me some unknown errors.

the template am trying to run is:

id: git-config

info:
  name: Git Config File
  author: Ice3man
  severity: medium
  description: Searches for the pattern /.git/config on passed URLs.

http:
  - method: GET
    path:
      - "{{BaseURL}}/.git/config"
    matchers:
      - type: word
        words:
          - "[core]"

error am getting

$ nuclei -t "./template.yml" -u "https://example.com"

@dat-ayush nuclei accept .yaml instead of .yml
