For example

npx @aexol/axolotl create-yoga my-project

Will create the axolotl project using graphql-yoga engine inside my-project directory - simple!

This is just a scaffold command but you can run it with deno to :D

deno run --allow-env --allow-write --allow-read npm:@aexol/axolotl [prefix] [dir]
