New project does not generate stack.yaml when offline

[carymrobbins]

We delegate to the stack tool to generate a stack.yaml file; however, we could instead fall back to a default file with some default LTS version, possibly the system's. For instance, the default global project config can be found on UNIX systems at $HOME/.stack/global-project/stack.yaml

i don't understand the connection between the title and the comment ;) Shouldn't it just call stack new <project name>?

Disconnect your internet connection and try to do stack new 😄
