Create a "blank" default template

Right now you have to specify --template hugo|jekyll. I don’t love this for two reasons:

• That’s not 0 config 😉
• Pushing Hugo or Jekyll may not the be the right choice

Instead, I propose running create-static-site <dirname> creates the bare minimum of a static site – asset processing & static files.

This could then evolve into a few other “bare-minimum” templates like a react -> toString template.

Thoughts? @ncphillips @budparr @scottgallant ?

I went with two webpack configs because they’re so heavy and I have detailed comments.

I think it would be helpful to give users the option to choose a template. If we consider that static site generators are pretty new to most of our users than we should make it very easy for them to use C-S-S with the template of their choice.

Say a user wants to use Jekyll the CLI could install the blank template and then prompt the user in a second step whether they would like to install an SSG (Jekyll, Hugo, Hexo etc.). Taking this a step further it maybe should even prompt them if they wanted to install a theme or not in a third step (I think it’s really difficult to figure out how to add a theme to C-S-S at the moment). Vue.js has solved the CLI experience beautifully ->

This might be less zero config but is in my opinion more in tune with what Create-React-App did for me. Run a command in the CLI and have a fully functioning app already pre-loaded with a theme so I have to only adjust code rather than write code from scratch and pick and choose providers myself.
