    # make-template.sh
    #
    # This script packages a Unity template for local use
    # in Unity Hub's ProjectTemplates folder.
    #
    # How it works:
    # 1. Prompts for the full Unity version (e.g., 6000.1.15f1 or 6000.1.0b12).
    # 2. Deletes ProjectVersion.txt from the package folder if it exists.
    # 3. Creates a .tgz archive from the 'package' folder.
    # 4. Moves the archive into the correct Unity ProjectTemplates folder
    # under C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\<version>\Editor\Data\Resources\PackageManager\ProjectTemplates
    #
    # Requirements:
    # - Run this script in Git Bash with Administrator privileges.
    # - 'tar' command must be available (included with Git Bash).
