Bit: Apply default configuration settings on Bit CLI commands

[amadeogallardo]

Feature Requests

Include additional configuration settings at the bit.json file that affect the default behavior for bit CLI.

1. ignore-package-json: true|false: this setting would enable/disable the addition of package.json files on the components folder. Right now this is possible using the CLI, but a bit repetitive to have to use it whenever a new import and/or update is executed. With this setting enabled, the CLI would by default apply it when executing an import command.

2. Prevent the addition of the @bit dependencies on the root's package.json file. I don't think this setting is available on the CLI right now. It would allow for a simpler approach without full dependency management, as suggested on #1166

3. import --write: the documentation mentions a --write setting that auto overwrites the physical files, but it doesn't seem to work on the current version. https://docs.bitsrc.io/docs/importing-components.html#fetch-updated-objects-for-a-sourced-component

sorry for the long response time.

thanks for submitting this feature request. I think that it will help with workflows similar to this as well.

I'll see how we can prioritize it, as it seems like a rather simple feature to implement.

@itaymendel Any news on this? I'm particularly interested in the ability to sync React components without any dependency management on bit's part as suggested in #1166.

These missing options are issues I currently have with bit. If this is a rather small feature – as @itaymendel mentioned – I hope these options get added soon (at least 1 and 2).

With the new version, v14.1.0, it's possible now to manually ignore dependencies.
