pascal init¶

Bootstrap a new Pascal workspace in the current directory.

pascal init [NAME] [--python VERSION]

Arguments¶

Argument	Default	Description
`NAME`	current directory name	Workspace name written into `pascal.toml`
`--python`	`3.12`	Minimum Python version for the workspace

What it creates¶

./
  pascal.toml      # workspace manifest
  pyproject.toml   # UV workspace root
  .gitignore       # created if not already present
  packages/        # empty directory
  apps/            # empty directory

pascal init my-workspace --python 3.11

Note

pascal init initialises the current directory as the workspace root. It does not create a subdirectory. Create and cd into your directory first.
