axs new

axs new scaffolds a new project from a starter template, writes axis.json, initialises git, installs dependencies, and activates the git hooks. create is a deprecated hidden alias for one release. Starters: rest-v1, rest-v2, graphql, worker, bare; layouts: module (default) and feature (rest-v1, rest-v2, graphql, worker). Pass --composer for a composed app with an axis.json selections block instead of config/features.ts.

axs new my-api --template rest-v1
