create

@marko/create

Scaffold a new Marko project into a directory. This is the library and marko-create bin behind create-marko (npm create marko).

CLI

npm create marko
# or run this package directly
npx @marko/create my-app --template basic

Options

• --name, -n: Name of the new app (also accepted as the first positional argument).
• --template, -t: The name of an example from marko-js/examples, or a user/repo git template.
  • An example name, optionally at a branch/tag/commit:

    basic
    basic#next     # example branch
    user/repo      # a git template
    user/repo#v1.2.3

• --dir, -d: Directory to set the project up in (defaults to the current directory).
• --installer, -i: Override the package manager used to install dependencies. Defaults to the one used to run the command, falling back to npm.
• --yes, -y: Skip the interactive prompts and accept the defaults.

The prompts only run in an interactive terminal. Under CI, AI agents, or a piped stdin the defaults are used (or, when required input is missing and defaults aren't allowed, the command exits non-zero with guidance) instead of hanging.

This package is a CLI only; it does not expose a programmatic API.
