Description

The most annoying thing that I find myself wasting time on when I create a new project is deleting these pesky `.keep` files from directories. They're all over and almost none of them are necessary in a normally generated project. It shouldn't be too hard to find all `.keep` files and delete any with other files in the directory. It could be one of the last steps in the init command and it would save me like 5 minutes of time 🙏

Research direction

Start by locating the init command and its final project-generation steps. Check how generated .keep files are handled, then verify that only .keep files in directories containing other files are removed while standalone .keep files remain.
