nimble: Create a new Nimble package in the current directory.
$ nimble init
try on your machine

The command "nimble init" is used to initialize a new Nim project. It sets up the directory structure and necessary configuration files for a Nim project.

When you run "nimble init" command, it creates a new directory with the same name as your project. Inside this directory, it creates several subdirectories such as "src" (source code files), "bin" (compiled binaries), "test" (test files), and "doc" (documentation files). Additionally, it creates a "nimble.lock" file to track the dependencies of your project.

The "nimble init" command also creates a "nim.cfg" configuration file where you can specify various settings for your project, such as the Nim compiler options, build flags, and target platforms.

By running this command, you can quickly set up the basic structure for a new Nim project and start working on your code.
