From what I can tell, the egg subcommand doesn't create any kind of egg file, just creates a new project.

But I agree. Creating a new distinct keyword for that command (why not just `hatch new my-app`?) would be far better. I've tried to get into Python packaging, and it's the biggest PITA I've dealt with as a dev.

I can recommend this great video from PyCon 2017 which demystifies a lot of Python's packaging process: [1]

But it's still a mess only Rube Goldberg could love.

0.4.0 changed the name from `egg` to `new` https://github.com/ofek/hatch/commit/5649b3f6c452b670d919fae...

Thanks ofek, seemingly small things like this make a huge difference.

I truly appreciate the feedback :)

I agree. It is definitely a completely different thing and even though 'egg' is a cool word I wish it was just 'hatch create my-app'
