Feature request: _don't_ run `npm install` when creating a new project about astro HOT 4 CLOSED

You can pass --use with npm or yarn to specify the package manager to run (it should already default to $npm_execpath). You should be able to use --run false to disable the automatic install. I will add these to the README, but they are also visible through the --help flag.

pnpm support is something we can look into during #190.

An update to this has been merged. You can now pass --skip-install.

Note that npm@7 now requires an extra --, so npm init astro -- --skip-install instead of npm@6's npm init astro --skip-install.

we could use $npm_execpath to use the invoking package manager

This works as long as it shares the relevant CLI. Which I believe is the case with PNPM but depending on what commands are used (including potential future expansion) may not be the case for Yarn.

A good compromise might be to require a flag (like say --install-dependencies with an -i shorthand), and include that flag in the documented command. Alternatively, while more work for Yarn users especially, an opt-out flag could be used.
