edgedb project init

Setup a new project.

edgedb project init [options]

Description

This command sets up a new project, creating an instance and a schema directory for it. It can also be used to convert an existing directory to a project directory, connecting the existing instance to the project. Typically this tool will prompt for specific details about how the project should be setup.

Options

--link

Specifies whether the existing EdgeDB server instance should be linked with the project.

This option is useful for initializing a copy of a project freshly downloaded from a repository with a pre-existing project database.

--no-migrations

Skip running migrations.

There are two main use cases for this option:

1. With —link option to connect to a datastore with existing data.

2. To initialize a new instance but then restore dump to it.

--non-interactive

Run in non-interactive mode (accepting all defaults).

--project-dir=project-dir

The project directory can be specified explicitly. Defaults to the current directory.

--server-instance=server-instance

Specifies the EdgeDB server instance to be associated with the project.

--server-version=server-version
