`npx @backstage/create-app` should accept output path as an option

Feature Suggestion

If I run npx @backstage/create-app . the new backstage app’s files should be created at my current location, rather than inside a new directory with the name of my app.

So instead of

my-app/
   packages/
   README.md

the tree should be

packages/
README.md

If the output path is missing, the current behavior should remain the same.

Possible Implementation

Accept an optional [PATH] as an argument of the command. https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/e21551c90ac88e549b2b113fc8f0c386576fa5f2/packages/create-app/src/index.ts#L25

Examples of [PATH] can be . or my-dir/ or /absolute/path/in/filesystem

Context

I usually create a git repository before running create-app scripts. It’s a bit annoying to move files later, if I want the output files to be in the root of the repository.

I’d be happy to help out with this one. Let me know if you’d like to collaborate @sadavarterohit!

In the meantime, I’ll take a look at the code and attempt to come up with an implementation.

No worries @sadavarterohit !
