Create a Workspace
A Workspace is a directory that contains information about one or more SDK-produced plugins to be packaged into a single, deployable .yxi archive. A given Workspace contains an ayx_workspace.json file and all other necessary components to build plugins.
To create a Workspace, we first create a new, empty directory. Then, we run the sdk-workspace-init command inside that directory and fill out the prompts, which starts the workspace initialization process.

~$ cd MyWorkspace
~/MyWorkspace$ ayx_plugin_cli sdk-workspace-init
