Add onPostInstall extension hook

[rgbkrk]

All the base setup is there, and I'd love to see this git init if it can.

This is for starters? Setting up a git repo seems a bit too opionated as the end user might not have git installed or might want to use hg etc.

The next version of Gatsby will have plugin support plus more extension APIs. One could be onPostInstall at which point for a custom starter/theme you could create a git repo.

As a big user of git, I had no problem taking these steps:

git init
git add .gitignore # Thanks for including this!
git status # Figure out what should be added directly
git add STUFF

However, I'd love to not have to walk others through that.

For sure, I totally see the use case but I just don't think it should be
the default.

Are you creating a starter right now?

automated.

Not yet, this was the first "pain point" I experienced in starting out with gatsby and thinking of follow on users. This is pretty exciting stuff, thanks for building it!

Ah cool! Yeah, I can imagine a "Github plugin" which installs a starter, creates a git repo, creates repo on Github, pushes the initial commit, then does an initial gh-pages install. That'd be ++.

a onPostInstall extension should definitely be added so I'll change the title of this issue to that.

Thanks for the pain report! Keep them coming. Working on turning Gatsby from a cool hack to a full-fledged product so use case ideas are super helpful.
