Cypress programmatically generate template structure

[grantspeelman]

Current behaviour:

Currently, cypress only generates the initial folder structure and files on running cypress open for the first time.

Desired behaviour:

Be able to generate the initial folder structure programmatically with something like:

cypress init -P test

Motivation

This will allow other projects and libraries to wrap the initial setup process with additional setup steps and files as required.

Versions

Future Cypress versions

Did @bahmutov tell you to open this issue :P

He's been lobbying for this for a year now

No he has not 😄
I am building a ruby gem (library) called cypress_dev that integrates with ruby on rails.
Part of what it does it attempt to get you setup easily with an initial cypress setup.
Currently I have a copy of the cypress 2.1 initial template copied into the gem but it would be great if this can easily be kept inline with the Cypress.

:) thank you Grant for keeping our secret ! I was thinking of doing my own utility for scaffolding cypresss projects I. Different ways but including them (really just exposing) in Cypress would be so much better
