Fil has mentioned that we will eventually add a way to specify the starting app template (ie, the "hello world" app) at cordova create time.
In mobile-chrome-apps land we do this via an optional --source=... flag, and it accepts a few "magic" values such as --source=spec to automatically create a spec test app. Perhaps whatever upstream solution we have for this could also include special values such as --source=blank. -Michal On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Ray Camden <rayca...@adobe.com> wrote: > To be clear, I want it to be nothing! > > Once I know how to use PG, how does this sample app help me?
