# create-astro
## Scaffolding for Astro projects
**With NPM:**
```bash
npm create astro@latest
```
**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 create astro@latest my-astro-project --template starter
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
npm create astro@latest 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 create astro@latest my-astro-project -- --template cassidoo/shopify-react-astro
```

npm create astro@latest my-astro-project --verbose
# npm 7+, extra double-dash is needed:
