Description

Just doing a fresh project on my MacBook for a clean environment and noted a few bits with the composer create-project tempest-app that could be improved

1. Wrong path in autoload-dev tests, and also hardcoded to show Brent as the author

    "autoload-dev": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Tests\\": "tests/",
            "Tests\\Tempest\\": "vendor/brendt/tempest/tests/" // << issue here
        }
    },
    "authors": [
        {
            "name": "Brent Roose",
            "email": "[email protected]"
        }

2. (Improvement) Perhaps a good idea to have the create project flow ask a couple of questions i.e.

What is the name of your project? (mytempest/app):
What is the Author name? (An Author):
What is the Author email? ([email protected]):

3. Error message due to missing root-version attribute, granted it's explained on the composer site for newbies and I haven't created my local git repo yet, hence the error. Perhaps the create project flow should also offer to git init? Just thinking about new-to-Tempest onboarding.

Composer could not detect the root package (tempest/app) version, defaulting to '1.0.0'. See https://getcomposer.org/root-version

4. The default require in the composer.json is ^1.2

    "require": {
        "tempest/framework": "^1.2"
    },

Could CI/CD update this to the newest package automatically?

5. The included .env/.env.example sets the default base_uri to http://localhost but php tempest serve serves on :8000 by default.

Steps to reproduce

composer create-project tempest-app and inspect composer.json
