Yii2 php init command
<p>What does <code>php init</code> command actually do?</p>

<p>When I run this command in cmd after creating my project using this command: <code>composer create-project --prefer-dist yiisoft/yii2-app-advanced advanced</code></p>

<p>I see many files generated in different locations like common, backend, frontend.</p>
