Description
It would be nice if this project also published a nuget template package, for instance Microsoft.Build.Traversal.Templates and Microsoft.Build.NoTargets.Templates.
I could then run dotnet new install to install the templates and then for instance create a new dirs.proj file by running dotnet new dirs.proj, or a new NoTargets project via dotnet new notargets.
The idea is to provide a sensible default for people getting started, and reduces friction to adoption over copy/pasting the sample from the README.
I'm also happy to do this work, but wanted to open an issue to gauge interest before starting.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the README samples for Traversal and NoTargets projects and the existing SDK packaging setup. Define how Microsoft.Build.Traversal.Templates and Microsoft.Build.NoTargets.Templates should install through dotnet new install and generate dirs.proj and NoTargets projects. Done means both template packages can be installed and their dotnet new commands create sensible starter projects.
