[#52] Adds a generate command for a default .tools.toml file

[MitchellBerend]

Resolves #52.

The generate command also uses the --config flag to set the location of the generated file. Would it be a good idea to have some output when actually generating the config? Right now there is no actual response unless there is some file system error.

$ cargo run -- --config test-tools.toml generate

    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 2.14s

#        repo =      "fd"
#        exe_name =  "fd"
#        tag =       "latest"
#    [ripgrep]
#        owner =     "BurntSushi"
#        repo =      "ripgrep"
#        exe_name =  "rg"
#        tag =       "latest"

We should wait for the discussion in #65 to be resolved since this issue might constitute changes in this pr

[MitchellBerend]

The file that currently gets generated looks like this

$ cat test-tools.toml 
# This file was automatically generated by tool-sync
#
# The directory to store all tools in
#store_directory = "$HOME/.local/bin"
#
#[ripgrep]
#   owner     = "BurntSushi"
#   repo      = "ripgrep"
#   exe_name  = "rg"
#
#   # Uncomment to download a specific version or tag.
#   # Without this tag latest will be used
#   # tag       = "latest"
#
#
# Asset name to download on linux OSes
#asset_name.linux = "x86_64-unknown-linux-musl"
#
# uncomment if you want to install on macOS as well
#asset_name.macos = "apple-darwin"
#
# uncomment if you want to install on Windows as well
#asset_name.windows = "x86_64-pc-windows-msvc"

Is this missing anything?

Issues that can be created following this pr The first 2 could maybe all get the tag `good-first-issue

• [x] Add a -f|--force flag to the default-config sub command to let it overwrite the existing $HOME/.tools.toml

  If the --config flag is specified, the default configuration is saved in the explicitly specified path. If this file already exist, ask interactively whether user want's to change it. And if the answer is "yes" then override it. The defaulg-config command can also accept the -f|--force flag to ignore interactive question.

• [ ] Always require the --config flag with the default-config command

---

• [x] Add current version to the generated config without hard coding it in the actual template.

  Would be cool to also say by which version of tool-sync but not sure how to do this without hardcoding the version thinking

We can do some magic in a build.rs file that can generate the src/config/template.rs so it contains the version in the config template itself.

@MitchellBerend These new issues look like a good improvement over the existing state of affairs 👍🏻 I'm thinking about a completely alternative design for the config-related commands (e.g. maybe it would be better to have the tool config --default command and other flags to the config command?) so I'll create an RFC soon and I'd like to invite you to the discussion. And when it's decided what interface is better, we can continue with other improvements around configs 🚢

[chshersh]

I've created an issue to discuss the future interface of all config-related commands:
