Quick question. I’m currently using VVV and I’m quite happy with it. Does Trellis have anything like the `vvv` command to create/delete sites?

When I used bedrock-ansible I had to manually edit the config files every time I wanted to add a new site, which is one of the reasons I dropped it at the time.

Thanks!

We have preliminary plans for a `trellis` CLI tool which would have that feature. I guess we just don’t think of editing the config files as a big deal since it doesn’t happen too often. But we are trying to make everything more user friendly.
