Expected Behavior

following documentation of trying to install with the ask-cli would install the git repo.

from the documentation

ask new --url https://github.com/alexa/skill-sample-nodejs-sauce-boss.git --skill-name sauce-boss

Current Behavior

Failure to parse arguments. --url should be --template-url. Also, --skill-name is no longer a supported flag.

Addressing these.

Possible Solution

One solution might be adding that branch. Though, I'm not sure if there is any difference in how that branch is supposed to function. Alternately, updating documentation.
