Additional Context

The igniteui-cli should be able to work without it's config file, unless a command absolutely requires it. If it does and a config is missing, it should try to generate one and auto-determine the fields like framework based on the repository it is ran against, or should prompt the user to fill values that it requires but cannot determine.
