Addition --name -n argument for kedro new in non-interactive mode

[noklam]

Description

When you have created a Kedro project and execute a kedro command on the CLI for the first time it asks a <project_name>. This is annoying when you keep creating new project, or need to create project with non-interactive mode.

Currently the workaround looks like:
yes project | kedro new -s pandas-iris

The task is to add an option to kedro new to immediately

Context

When running kedro new, it will prompt you to enter the project name. It takes some time for cookiecutter to download the repository and user are stuck until it finished. It would be a nice-to-have if I can give a name argument so I can create the project in 1 command instead of 2.

What this is not

• We should not make this a mandatory argument. We should keep the current behavior when -n is not provided, then prompt user to input the name of the project.

(kedro_core) kedro_gallery master % kedro new -s pandas-iris

Project Name

Please enter a human readable name for your new project.
Spaces, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.

Possible Implementation

kedro new -s pandas-iris -n my-pandas - introduce a new argument

This should be very easy to implement.

Can I also ask for telemetry consent at this point as well? For CI/CD workflows this is critical.

This has been design in technical design, but I guess we haven't turn that into concrete issue. I have convert them into issues and put it in backlog

There are a lot of assignees, so I'm a bit confused, but can I take this? I've already implemented this for a private Kedro-ish fork, so I'll just copy it.

AFAIK @lrcouto and @DimedS started working on this, so you might want to check with them 🙂

I've started working on this yesterday. It's gonna need a bit of cleanup on the new CLI function on top of adding the new flag IMO.
