railway: Create a new project directly from the command-line.
$ railway init
try on your machine
The command "railway init" is typically used in the context of the Railway CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool. "railway init" initializes a new Railway project or directory.
When you run "railway init" in a directory, it performs the following actions:
- Checks if there is a valid Railway authentication token available. If not, it prompts you to log in to your Railway account.
- Creates a new project in the current directory, including necessary files and folders.
- Sets up the project with default configurations and dependencies based on the selected template (if applicable).
- Initializes the project, sets it up with infrastructure and environment variables.
- Creates a ".railway" directory where project-specific configurations and settings are stored.
By running "railway init", you are essentially creating and setting up a new Railway project, enabling you to deploy your application or infrastructure using Railway's infrastructure-as-code platform.
