qbec env add / qbec env del

[kvaps]

Need automation for adding and removing environments, with describing them in environments directory and params.libsonnet, qbec.yaml files

[gotwarlost]

since qbec doesn't have an opinion on how to create runtime parameters and where environment specific configuration is stored, it cannot reasonably update these. The best it can do is add an environment entry in qbec.yaml. The rest of the structure can be vastly different for every project.

[kvaps]

But it is doing that for the initial default environment. Isn't it?

[gotwarlost]

Yes and I want to change that. The generated code is too much machinery to get started. I want qbec init to produce something like the config documented at https://qbec.io/userguide/usage/runtime-params/#using-qbec-io-env

Please keep it simple for end user.

Allowing users to cusomize main structure is cool idea, but current example is really fine for the beginners who have no much experience with jsonnet.

Separate environments same way as components are a good starting point to start this familiarity.

[kvaps]

Maybe leave this hierarchy structure only for init --with-example?
I think it is good compromise to solve that, and keep simplicity for beginners :)
