• Support for Flutter channels (stable, beta, master, dev)
• Support for specific Flutter version numbers (e.g., 3.16.0)
• Informative logging showing current and requested Flutter versions
• Automatic version comparison to avoid unnecessary switches

Features

• Smart Version Management: Detects if FVM is installed and uses it for better version isolation

• Backward Compatible: Works without any version flags, using current system Flutter
• User Guidance: Recommends FVM installation for better version management experience

Examples

# Create with current Flutter version (default)
ftcreate my_app -t /path/to/template

# Create with Flutter stable channel
ftcreate my_app -t /path/to/template -v stable

# Create with specific Flutter version
ftcreate my_app -t /path/to/template -v 3.16.0

# Combine with organization ID
