Usage:
```
pulumi new <template> --dir folderName
```
Used to specify the directory where to place the generated project.
If the directory does not exist, it will be created.
* Initialize a new stack as part of `pulumi new`
* Prompt for values with defaults preselected
* Install dependencies
* Prompt for default config values
We already have a great history viewing experience on
Pulumi.com. `pulumi history` in the CLI today is basically unuseable,
and instead of working on trying to improve it, let's just remove it
for now.
Fixes#965
Note: This is a minor issue that I didn't get to for M11 that isn't
required for M11 and would be fine merging for post-M11.
When you specify a template name explicitly (e.g.
`pulumi new typescript`), we'll try to download the template tarball
without first downloading the JSON list of available templates. The JSON
includes a description used when replacing the `${DESCRIPTION}` string
in template files. Since we didn't download the JSON, we won't have a
description, so we fallback to a default value (`"A Pulumi project."`).
This also happens when specifying `--offline` to use an existing
template under `~/.pulumi/templates`; we won't have a description for
the template, so we fallback to a default description. The fallback
value happens to be the same as the description for each of our current
templates, so noone will currently notice an issue.
For M11, I included initial support for a template manifest file where
the description (and any future metadata) could be stored, but didn't go
as far as actually reading the file.
This change makes it so the CLI actually reads the description from the
manifest file (if it exists), otherwise falling back to the default
value as is done currently. Some minor related cleanup is included in
this change.
This adds a `pulumi new` command which makes it easy to quickly
automatically create the handful of needed files to get started building
an empty Pulumi project.
Usage:
```
$ pulumi new typescript
```
Or you can leave off the template name, and it will ask you to choose
one:
```
$ pulumi new
Please choose a template:
> javascript
python
typescript
```
