edgedb project init​

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

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.
