The generate command in Pkg2 created a git repository for your package but it doesn’t seem to do so in Pkg3. Am I supposed to just manage this myself?

I think additional tooling is being worked on, but that you need to manage yourself for now. The easiest thing to do is probably copy the basic files from a different repo and then `git init`.
