forge init
NAME
forge-init - Create a new Forge project.
SYNOPSIS
forge init [options] [root]
DESCRIPTION
Create a new Forge project in the directory root (by default the current working directory).
The default template creates the following project layout:
.
├── README.md
├── foundry.toml
├── lib
│ └── forge-std
│ ├── LICENSE-APACHE
│ ├── LICENSE-MIT
│ ├── README.md
│ ├── foundry.toml
│ ├── package.json
│ ├── scripts
│ ├── src
│ └── test
├── script
│ └── Counter.s.sol
├── src
│ └── Counter.sol
└── test
└── Counter.t.sol
8 directories, 10 files
However, it is possible to create a project from another using --template.
By default, forge init will also initialize a new git repository, install some submodules and create an initial commit message.
If you do not want this behavior, pass --no-git.
