I chose from template the ASP.NET Core Web API, then provide name of project

After Create, I got only:

Without Program.cs

Why ?

Answer 1

I managed to solve issue.

Seems that local path (after clone repository which has space or special character in its name) is saved like C:\test\My%20Api

If change location to a name that does not contain special character (you can specify different location when clone repo) with valid one like C:\test\MyApi then the creation will work.
