Feature Request: Template Saving and Listing Functionality

[WannaCry016]

Currently, Neutralinojs CLI allows us to create projects from GitHub templates, but it lacks functionality for managing and reusing locally saved templates. Developers have to re-download or clone templates from remote sources every time they need them, which can slow down the development process.

Proposed Solution

Adding the following features:

• Save Templates: Allow users to save a project setup as a local template using the command:
  neu template save <template-name>
• List Templates: Provide a command to list all available local templates with:
  neu template list
• Remove Templates: Enable users to remove saved templates with:
  neu template remove <template-name>
• Create from Templates: Allow project creation using locally saved templates:
  neu create <project-name> --template <template-name>

Benefits

• Faster Setup: Reuse common setups without needing to re-clone them.
• Offline Use: Access templates without an internet connection.
• Better Template Management: Simplify template management locally.

Next Steps

1. Implement the save, list, and remove commands for templates.
2. Enable creating projects from saved templates.
3. Update documentation with examples for the new commands.

Thanks so much for creating this issue with your ideas @WannaCry016. Seems like this is not core requirement for the neu CLI based on other feature requests from app developers. So, we can create a CLI plugin for this feature. Feel free to implement a plugin and publish it to NPM. Then, we can add it to: https://neutralino.js.org/resources

Thanks 🎉
