quarto: Create a new blog website.
$ quarto create-project ${path-to-destination_directory} --type ${website} --template ${blog}
try on your machine

This command is used to create a new project using the Quarto framework.

Here is a breakdown of the different elements of the command:

  • quarto: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for Quarto.

  • create-project: This is a command within the Quarto CLI used to create a new project.

  • ${path-to-destination_directory}: This is a placeholder for the desired path where you want to create the project. You need to replace ${path-to-destination_directory} with the actual path to the destination directory on your computer. For example, it could be /Users/yourusername/projects/myproject.

  • --type ${website}: This is an option that specifies the type of project you want to create. In this case, it is set to ${website} which is another placeholder. You need to replace ${website} with the actual type of project you want to create. For example, it could be html, pdf, md, etc.

  • --template ${blog}: This is another option that specifies the template to be used for the project. Again, ${blog} is a placeholder that you need to replace with the specific template name you want to use. For example, it could be minimal, default, or any other template available within the Quarto framework.

By providing the appropriate values for the placeholders and running this command, Quarto will create a new project with the specified type and template at the given destination directory.
