Running the development environment using a helper script

This documents an alternative way to start the Evidence devenv that is a wraps docker commands described in the main README.

• Download https://github.com/evidence-dev/docker-devenv/blob/main/start-devenv.sh.
• To create a new Evidence project, execute the following commands

    chmod +x <path-to>/start-devenv.sh
    cd <path-to-your-new-evidence-project-root>
    <path-to>/start-devenv.sh --init

• To work with an existing Evidence project, execute the following commands.

    chmod +x <path-to>/start-devenv.sh
    cd <path-to-your-existing-evidence-project-root>
    <path-to>/start-devenv.sh

Run start-devenv.sh --help for more details on using this script.

As the project develops, we'll likely add more options to this script. This script simply masks all the options that need to be provided to docker.
