What's wrong with `deno init`? `npm init` has been a thing for years.

  Yeah but Deno doesn’t require package.json or anything like that. Seems sort of redundant.

  From the sound of things, deno init basically just downloads a sample project- it's not creating actual boilerplate that you're going to keep using as you implement your real app

    Yeah but that's what users want. `<project manager> init` is a de facto standard way to say "Ok, new tool that I don't understand, make me a blank project." Just because Deno's blank project is literally just `/* main.ts */ console.log("hello world!");` doesn't mean that the `init` command is useless. It's not useful if you are already aware how Deno works. The point of adding it is to help people who don't know. It's about discoverability.

  It's also missing git and gitignore.
