Using version 1.3.0, I think I followed the directions here: https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/cli-reference/install/#installing-a-service-from-a-directory-in-a-github-url
Now all I did was change the end point.
serverless install --url https://github.com/serverless/examples/tree/master/aws-node-simple-http-endpoint
But the result is a examples/ directory with ALL the examples. Have I misunderstood?
