Hi,
most Elixir related new projects start with editing mix.exs and adding one or multiple deps. What is the reason that mix doesn't support the following two commands out of the box?
- mix new --add-dep="ash" app
- mix deps.add ash
I don't care about the exact way of doing this (syntax wise, etc.). I am just curious why this or something similar is not a feature. The idea is not really groundbreaking so I guess there must be a technical reason. Is there? It would save most of the Elixir related projects time during the setup. Shorter documentation. Less hassle for each Elixir developer.
In case there is no technical argument against this feature I'd like to propose it. I don't have the technical background to code it myself.
Viele Grüße
Stefan

mix deps.add was proposed a few times on this mailing list and I believe on forum too. Please see previous discussions.

Let's skip the idea of mix deps.add for a moment.
What about `mix new --add-dep="ash" app` ? All the arguments against `mix deps.add` I was able to find in the discussions don't count for this and it would make life better for a lot of human beings.
