vue-init

Create Vue.js projects from templates

TLDR

Create a project from the webpack template

$ vue init webpack [project-name]

Create a project from the simple template (no build step)

$ vue init simple [project-name]

Create from a local template directory

$ vue init [~/my-template] [project-name]

Create from a GitHub repository template

$ vue init [username/repo] [project-name]

Clone instead of downloading the template

$ vue init --clone [username/repo] [project-name]

Use a cached template (offline mode)

$ vue init --offline [webpack] [project-name]

SYNOPSIS

vue init [options] template project-name

vue init creates new Vue.js projects from templates. This is a legacy command from Vue CLI 2.x (package: vue-cli). For Vue CLI 3+ (package: @vue/cli), use vue create instead.The command is still useful for custom project templates hosted on GitHub or stored locally. To use it with Vue CLI 3+, install the @vue/cli-init bridge package.

PARAMETERS

template

Template name. Built-in templates include webpack, webpack-simple, browserify, browserify-simple, pwa, and simple. Can also be a GitHub repo (user/repo) or local path.

project-name

Name for the new project directory.

--clone

Use git clone instead of downloading a zip archive.

--offline

Use a previously cached template instead of downloading.

CAVEATS

This is a Vue CLI 2.x command. Vue CLI 3+ uses vue create for new projects. The built-in templates (webpack, browserify, etc.) are no longer maintained. To use vue init with @vue/cli 3+, install @vue/cli-init globally.
