init

Initialize a local Nhost project.

nhost init

If you have an existing Nhost project in Nhost Cloud that you want to use as a starting point for local development and for the Git-based workflow, run nhost init --remote.

The nhost init --remote command does the following:

  • Creates a new local Nhost project.
  • Pulls the database migrations and Hasura metadata from the Nhost Cloud project.
  • Resets the remote Nhost Cloud project's database migrations.

The nhost init --remote command should only be run once. Running it multiple times will reset the remote Nhost Cloud project's database migrations which can cause migration conflict issues in your development team.
