             Summary: Sub-command to generate the default config
                 Key: AIRFLOW-833
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-833
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: cli
            Reporter: George Sakkis
            Assignee: George Sakkis


1. Currently airflow autogenerates a default {{$AIRFLOW_HOME/airflow.cfg}} as soon as any command is issued or even when running {{import airflow}} from python, which IMO is rather intrusive (even more so when AIRFLOW_HOME defaults to the user's home directory).
2. Moreover, once the file is created it is not trivial to generate a default config again; one has to either move the existing one to another location or change (at least temporarily) AIRFLOW_HOME.

Both issues can be addressed with the extension of the CLI with a subcommand to generate the default config explicitly at will instead of implicitly at import time.
