When using Mbed CLI (CUI)

The basic workflow for Mbed CLI is to:

1) Initialize a new repository, for either a new application (or library) or an imported one. In both cases, this action also adds the Mbed OS codebase.
2) Build the application code.
3) Test your build.
4) Publish your application.
