NAME

       dune-init - Command group for initializing Dune components.

SYNOPSIS

       dune init proj NAME [PATH] [OPTION]...
       dune init exec NAME [PATH] [OPTION]...
       dune init lib NAME [PATH] [OPTION]...
       dune init test NAME [PATH] [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       dune init COMPONENT NAME [PATH] [OPTION]... initializes a new dune configuration for a component of the
       kind specified by the subcommand COMPONENT, named NAME, with fields determined by the supplied OPTIONs.

       Run a subcommand with  --help for for details on it's supported arguments

       If the optional PATH is provided, it must be a path to a directory, and the component will be created
       there. Otherwise, it is created in a child of the current working directory, called  NAME. To initialize
       a component in the current working directory, use `.` as the PATH.

       Any prefix of a COMMAND's name can be supplied in place of full name (as illustrated in the synopsis).

       For more details, see https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html#initializing-components

COMMANDS

       executable [OPTION]… NAME [PATH]
           A binary executable.

       library [OPTION]… NAME [PATH]
           An OCaml library.

       project [OPTION]… NAME [PATH]
           A  project  is a predefined composition of components arranged in a standard directory structure. The
           kind of project initialized is determined by the  value  of  the  --kind  flag  and  defaults  to  an
           executable project, composed of a library, an executable, and a test component.

       test [OPTION]… NAME [PATH]
           A test harness. (For inline tests, use the --inline-tests flag along with the other component kinds.)

COMMON OPTIONS

       --help[=FMT] (default=auto)
           Show  this  help  in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. With auto,
           the format is pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.

       --version
           Show version information.

EXIT STATUS

       dune init exits with:

       0   on success.

       1   if an error happened.

       130 if it was interrupted by a signal.

EXAMPLES

       1.  Generate a project skeleton for an executable named `myproj'  in  a  new  directory  named  `myproj',
           depending on the bos library and using inline tests along with ppx_inline_test:

             dune init proj myproj --libs bos --ppx ppx_inline_test --inline-tests

       2.  Configure an executable component named `myexe' in a dune file in the current directory:

             dune init exe myexe

       3.  Configure  a  library  component named `mylib' in a dune file in the ./src directory depending on the
           core and cmdliner libraries, the ppx_let and ppx_inline_test preprocessors,  and  declared  as  using
           inline tests:

             dune init lib mylib src --libs core,cmdliner --ppx ppx_let,ppx_inline_test --inline-tests

       4.  Configure  a  test  component  named  `mytest' in a dune file in the ./test directory that depends on
           `mylib':

             dune init test mytest test --libs mylib
