nix flake new - create a flake in the specified directory from a template

       This command creates a flake in the directory dest-dir, which must not already exist. It’s equivalent to:

       # mkdir dest-dir
       # cd dest-dir
       # nix flake init

       •  Create a flake using the default template in the directory hello:

       # nix flake new hello

       •  List available templates:

       # nix flake show templates

       •  Create a flake from a specific template in the directory hello:

       # nix flake new hello -t templates#trivial

       nix flake new - create a flake in the specified directory from a template

       •  --template / -t template

          The template to use.
