Because of this I was wondering, if we should add a "New Project" wizard to Code which allows to create a new elementary OS App skeleton by asking a few questions and then fetching the content of a template repo from GitHub.
The idea is not quite new and there is "Develop" in AppCenter already which does something similar.
However, when I used Develop in the past it seemed not to be up to date to how we structure apps. In addition I think it would be quite useful to have official templates which closely stick to the official documentation.
Proposal
Add a "New Project" button which starts the Wizard
Let the Wizard ask a few questions and set the values of pre-defined variables
Fetch the corresponding project template from GitHub
Replace the now defined variables in the template code with their values
Show finish screen which points to additional documentation (depends on template)
Problem
I'm currently putting together an elementary app template which tries to stick as near as possible to the elementary Developer Docs.
