apify create: "Apify" source option doesn't say the project stays local #1396

Description

@patrikbraborec

Problem

The last apify create prompt, "Where will the source code live?", offers Apify / GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket. Picking Apify scaffolds the project locally and uploads nothing, but the label reads as if the code goes to the platform right away. Raised in Slack by a user who wanted a local-only project and couldn't tell from the prompt which option does that.

The option description ("Deploy with "apify push". No Git provider involved.") shows only for the highlighted choice and still doesn't say the project stays on disk.

What we want

A prompt where the local-only path is obvious from the option label alone, with each option's description stating what happens right after selection.

Requirements

P0

  • Rename the Apify option so it says the project stays local and nothing is uploaded, e.g. "Local only (deploy later with apify push)".
  • Each option's description states what happens on selection.

P1

  • Revisit the question wording; "Where will the source code live?" implies a remote location for every option.
  • Keep apify as the --source flag value.
