bun create scaffolds new projects from templates. It supports templates from npm, GitHub repositories, and local directories. After cloning, it automatically installs dependencies and initializes the project.
For basic project initialization without templates, use bun init instead.

template

Template source: npm package, GitHub repo (user/repo), or local path

Project directory name (defaults to template name)

From npm

bun create hono@latest my-app

bun create user/repo my-project

bun create ./my-template new-project

bun init

Initialize blank project in current directory

Scaffold React project

Scaffold React with Tailwind CSS

Scaffold React with shadcn/ui

Template availability depends on the source. GitHub templates require network access. Some templates may have additional setup steps documented in their README.
