# 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.
You can also use any GitHub repo as a template:
```bash
npm init astro my-astro-project -- --template cassidoo/shopify-react-astro
```
### CLI Flags
May be provided in place of prompts
| Name | Description |
|:-------------|:----------------------------------------------------|
| `--template` | Specify the template name ([list][examples]) |
| `--commit` | Specify a specific Git commit or branch to use from this repo (by default, `main` branch of this repo will be used) |
### Debugging
To debug `create-astro`, you can use the `--verbose` flag which will log the output of degit and some more information about the command, this can be useful when you encounter an error and want to report it.
```bash
# npm 6.x
npm init astro my-astro-project --verbose
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm init astro my-astro-project -- --verbose
# yarn
yarn create astro my-astro-project --verbose
```
