pnpm create

Create a project from a create-* or @foo/create-* starter kit.

pnpm create <name> [<args>...]

The name is mapped to a starter kit package:

Name	Package
`foo`	`create-foo`
`create-foo`	`create-foo`
`@scope`	`@scope/create`

pnpm runs the starter kit with pnx and passes the remaining arguments to it.
