The
create-project
command is used by a lot of projects as part of their installation documentation, for example Symfony, Laravel and Statamic. Thecreate-project
command accepts adirectory
argument which authors of installation instructions must try to convey to readers as being a value the reader must replace with their desired directory.This Pull Request is for a change to add a new
ask
option which allows documentation authors to remove any reference to thedirectory
argument and instead have Composer prompt the reader for their target directory. This does not change the default behaviour.Here are a couple of screenshots of the documentation from Symfony, Laravel and Statamic that demonstrate the problem.
