# create-astro

## Scaffolding for Astro projects

**With NPM:**

```bash
npm init astro
```

**With Yarn:**

```bash
yarn create astro
```

`create-astro` automatically runs in _interactive_ mode, but you can also specify your project name and template with command line arguments.

```bash
# npm 6.x
npm init astro my-astro-project --template starter

# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm init astro my-astro-project -- --template starter

# yarn
yarn create astro my-astro-project --template starter
```
[Check out the full list][examples] of example starter templates, available on GitHub.
