Examples
Initialize a new Compute package locally
To initialize a new Compute package you must select a supported language. The language can be provided using the optional --language flag, which supports tab completion hints, or the flag can be omitted and you'll be prompted interactively. The --name flag can also be omitted, which will result in the CLI prompting you interactively.
