A simple CLI to create new SST projects.

---

Usage

There's no need to install this CLI. Just use it directly to create your projects.

npx create-sst@latest

yarn create sst

pnpm create sst

This will prompt you for a name and bootstrap a new project in that directory.

---

Options

Pass in the following (optional) options.

--template

Instead of the standard starter, you can choose to use one of our <a href={${config.github}//tree/master/packages/create-sst/bin/presets}>minimal setups or examples as the template to bootstrap.

npx create-sst@latest --template=other/go

yarn create sst --template=other/go

pnpm create sst --template=other/go

---

Arguments

<destination>

Specify a project name, instead of typing it into the interactive prompt.

npx create-sst@latest my-sst-app

yarn create sst my-sst-app

pnpm create sst my-sst-app
