$ vip dev-env create

- Create a new local environment with the unique name "example-site".
* Unique names allow multiple local environments to exist simultaneously.
$ vip dev-env create --slug=example-site

- Create a new local environment configured as a multisite running PHP 8.2 and WordPress version 6.4.
* Options that are set in the `create` command will be skipped in the setup wizard.
