Right now if you select default from the templates list, it will try and run cdk init after you select a language. It expects you to have cdk installed and available in that terminal. Should we actually specify the dependency?

Some work was done initially to support templates found in the cdk examples repo, but it proved to be more complex than originally thought.

Some known issues:

• templates are nested under [language]. We'd need to have the user select their language.
• even more than [language], other groupings exist like: python ecs. We would need to recursively map the directories and gather only templates with a cdk.json. This would also make the current downloadAndExtract implementation pretty complex.

• Formalize commit/PR process
• Create github releases

Right now the only resolver is for the default templates repo. We should be able to support a generic tarball link.
