Document how to use stack parameters

See original GitHub issue

Every example stack that I’ve seen so far in the documentation has no Parameters. I found the @aws-cdk/core documentation for the Parameter class itself, and got it to work in my stack (shows up in cdk synth output). Now, I don’t know how to convey values for the parameters through cdk deploy.

❯ AWS_REGION=us-east-1 cdk deploy --GitSha abc
 ⏳  Starting deployment of stack hello-cdk...
 ❌  Deployment of stack hello-cdk failed: ValidationError: Parameters: [GitSha] must have values
Parameters: [GitSha] must have values

p.s. I also don’t know where the hello-cdk name is coming from. I assume from the skeleton setup in cdk init?

We have a section in the docs about passing in data:

https://awslabs.github.io/aws-cdk/passing-in-data.html

Feel free to re-open this issue if the docs do not satisfy your needs.
