Project name

[wkoszek]

Hi. I spotted your demo @ Golang channel.

I think you can just make project name to always be there. Otherwise user must --name everywhere.

hey @wkoszek what do you mean by "to always be there"?
If the --name flag is deprecated, how will the project directory be created?
Because I rely on the value from --name to create the project folder.

@luigimorel hey. flags with --flag means "optional". in gogen, project name and template name appear to always have to be there. they seem mandatory. in which case you can make them an argument:

gogen new cli adam_cli --maybe enough --flag optional

gogen new web adam_web --maybe-i-dont-need-any-of-this

you could send a PR, yk? happy to merge
