Commands to create metadata from a default or custom template

# summary

Generate an Experience Cloud site.

# description

Creates the metadata of an Experience Cloud site with the specified template, name, and URL path prefix. The output includes all the necessary metadata files, including DigitalExperienceConfig, DigitalExperienceBundle, Network, and CustomSite.
Unlike `sf community create`, which builds the site directly in the org, this command generates only the local metadata.

# examples

- Generate an Experience Cloud site using the Build Your Own (LWR) template. The site is called "mysite" and has the URL path prefix "mysite":

  <%= config.bin %> <%= command.id %> --template-name "Build Your Own (LWR)" --name mysite --url-path-prefix mysite

- Generate an Experience Cloud site like the last example, but generate the files into the specified output directory:

  <%= config.bin %> <%= command.id %> --template-name "Build Your Own (LWR)" --name mysite --url-path-prefix mysite --output-dir force-app/main/default

# flags.name.summary

Name of the Experience Cloud site to generate.

# flags.template-name.summary
