poetry: Interactively initialize the current directory as a new Poetry project.

poetry

$ poetry init

try on your machine

The command "poetry init" is used in the Poetry package manager for Python. It initializes a new poetry project by guiding you through a series of prompts to generate a pyproject.toml file.

The pyproject.toml file is the centerpiece of Poetry's project configuration. It contains metadata about the project and its dependencies, as well as settings and options for building, testing, and publishing the project.

When you run "poetry init," it will ask you a series of questions to gather information about your project, such as the project name, description, author, license, and programming language version. You can either provide the information or accept the default values suggested by Poetry.

Once you have answered all the questions, Poetry will generate the pyproject.toml file with the provided or default values. This file serves as a project manifest and can be modified later as needed. It allows you to manage dependencies, scripts, and other project settings using Poetry's command-line interface.
