Examples: 
  cecss create-site NewSite -c StarterBlog_export.zip
  cecss create-site NewsSite -c ~/Downloads/NewsTemplate.zip
  cecss create-site NewsSite -f ~/Downloads/ReactSiteTemplate.zip -c 
~/Downloads/NewsTemplate.zip
  cecss create-site BlogSite -s -n Blog
  cecss create-site BlogSite -s -n Blog -t Blog,Author

Content Type Restriction

If the name of a content type contains the character "-" or starts with a digital character, the generated React component for this type won't compile, and thus the site won't be runnable. Do not use a content type whose name violates the restrictions.

Create a Site with Local Content

The local content can be the zip file of an exported Oracle Content Management template or a zip file of exported channel content. For each content type in the zip file, a React component will be generated and the type will also be used for site navigation.

cecss create-site NewsSite -c ~/Downloads/NewsTemplate.zip

The site created will be placed in a folder with the same name as the site.

Create a Site with Oracle Content Management Server Content

To create a site with content types from an Oracle Content Management server, you need to configure the Oracle Content Management server first. At least one content type should be specified to use for site navigation.

Create a site for all content types on the Oracle Content Management server, specifying which types to use in the navigation:
```
cecss create-site serverSite -s -n Article
cecss create-site serverSite -s -n Article,Author
```
Create a site with certain content types on the Oracle Content Management server. The content types used for navigation will be included automatically.
```
cecss create-site serverSite -s -n Article,Author -t Employee
```
