[Tooling] genkit@0.9.0 cannot be used as a CLI

Describe the bug

To Reproduce

npx genkit@latest init

But it works with:

Expected behavior

Thanks for reporting this!

Two things here:

1. There's no more genkit init.
2. The CLI package is now called genkit-cli so the only way to make this work is to do npx genkit-cli <command>.

We'll update the docs.

@apascal07 Thank you for the update, but I found that the behavior of the cli has also changed, for example, the project no longer compiles automatically (I haven't tested the behavior of node, but it's like this for Go projects). This part of the operation also needs to be updated.

Hi @apascal07! I tried using the npx genkit-cli init command and the genkit init and the list of commands appears but the project does not start.

@lperezp genkit-cli init is no longer available. The new CLI tool requires manual project initialization.
