The envcreate command is used to create an environment. This command creates an environment directory, initializes it, and registers it with BundleWorks. An environment is simply a set of directories and files in a well-defined layout.

When creating a directory, it is recommended, although not required, that to choose a unique name for the environment on a machine. This allows the environment to be loaded by name and not with its full path. For example, if the environment name 'prod' is unique to a machine, you can load the environment using 'use prod' instead of 'use /var/env/prod'.

Once an environment is created, the deploy command is used to deploy loadable and executable bundles to the environment. The list can then be used to see which bundles are deployed to which environments.
