Create a new Nx workspace
$ npx create-nx-workspace@latest ${name}
try on your machine

The command npx create-nx-workspace@latest ${name} is used to create a new workspace using the create-nx-workspace package with the latest version available. Here is how it works:

  1. npx is a command-line tool that comes with npm (Node Package Manager). It allows you to run packages installed in your project's node_modules directory without globally installing them.

  2. create-nx-workspace is a package specifically designed for creating workspaces in an Nx monorepo. Nx is a toolset that helps you develop, test, and build multiple applications and libraries within a single repository. It provides advanced development features, such as code sharing, task running, and dependency management.

  3. @latest is an npm package version specifier, which indicates that you want to use the latest version available. By appending @latest to the package name, you ensure that the most recent version of create-nx-workspace is used to create the workspace.

  4. ${name} is a placeholder variable that represents the name you want to give to your workspace. You need to replace ${name} with the actual name you want to use, without the curly braces.

By running this command with the desired workspace name, a new Nx workspace will be created in the current directory, using the latest version of the create-nx-workspace package. The workspace will contain a configuration file, package.json, and other necessary files and folders to start developing multiple projects within the same repository.
