New command: `riyaz new`

It should:

• help the course developer to understand where each file goes, and how the settings need to be specified
• give user a project template to fill in the blanks or swap out pieces

Approach:

• Add a template/ folder in sample-data/ that has files for chapters, lessons, authors, and course.yml
• When user runs riyaz new {course-dir}:
  1. Create directory {course-dir}, copy contents of template/ into {course-dir}/. If directory exists, an error should be raised.
  2. Load {course-dir}/course.yml into memory, change value of course: {course-dir} to the title-fied version of {course-dir}.

The sample data loaded should have some demonstration of how to use the features provided by riyaz.

Wouldn't it be better to use cookie-cutter for this?

You can look at an example at: https://github.com/pipalacademy/python-practice-problems/tree/main/cookiecutter-problem

It should:

* help the course developer to understand where each file goes, and how the settings need to be specified

* give user a project template to fill in the blanks or swap out pieces

Shouldn't the goal just be:

• create a new empty course with all required files from a predefined template

Cookie cutter makes sense.

Shouldn't the goal just be:

create a new empty course with all required files from a predefined template

Yeah, okay 👍 . We don't need to make the template content serve as documentation.

Should we have cookiecutter as a dependency and run it from python when riyaz new is run, or let the user run cookiecutter on their own?
