`conan new` for package consumers

Hi,

It would be nice to have a fast/easy way to set up a new project with Conan, similar to npm init. Setting up everything, like cmake file, conanfile, .gitignore, main.cpp etc. takes some time, and it’s hard to do it right at the first time (was it “require” or “requires” etc). Automating these things can be useful, e.g. for creating small demos/experiments or smaller applications. conan new can also be extended for package creators to generate files for travis and appveyor. What files are generated should be controlled via flags or an interactive mode with questions.

Hi @sixten-hilborn , @lasote,

Any new thought on this request?. I personally think that it is bigger the effort in learning a new tool or command arguments than just learning the simple conanfile.txt syntax. Besides our effort in coding and documenting the tool. My vote is for closing this issue.

I think it is a good idea, of course we are open to rethink it if necessary, just let us know how your tool evolves. Thanks!
