Describe the issue

command 'databricks bundle init' does not work with --template-dir

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. Create your template

2. Execute command from external path:

databricks bundle init --template-dir ./project/job-bundle-template/ -p MYPROFILE --output-dir new-project

Expected Behavior

I expect the prompt ask me about the params needed to create the new bundle, I also tried to pass --config-file with key-value but it does not work.

Actual Behavior

Hi @gvlpedro, thanks for reaching out. To initialize a local template you can simply run

databricks bundle init [local-path-to-template]

The template-dir flag is meant to be used if you specify a Git URL as the template path, in that case the flag helps you select a subdirectory from the Git repo root.

I'll close this issue since the feature works as expected.
