As a user I want to be able to pass a git repository instead of a template.yml file so that I can maintain my own templates and make use of community templates.
use:
$ mkdir HappyDance && cd HappyDance
$ genesis generate https://github.com/thecb4/GenesisTemplate
It should allow for http || https || git protocols
It should download to a common folder
// replace the standard path call with one that checks the string and does some work
// let templatePath = Path(self.templatePath.value).absolute()
let templatePath = determinePath(from: self.templatePath.value)
/**
This method allows for the use of git repositories to hold templates in addition to passing in a flat template file.
- Parameter from: The string passed in from the command line
- Returns: Returns the Path of the template file
## Important Notes ##
1. template.yml file should be top level of the git repository
2. template repositories will be downloaded to a .genesis folder in users home (~) directory
3. Each download replaces prior versions of the template

func determinePath(from: String) -> Path {
if
from.contains("http") ||
from.contains("https") ||
from.contains("git")
{
do {
let project = URL(string: from)!.lastPathComponent.components(separatedBy: ".")[0]
