|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
The CLI uses `@clack/prompts` for interactive questions. These prompts work well in most terminals and are fully keyboard-driven.
|
||
|
||
## Core keys
|
||
|
||
- **Navigate**: Up/Down arrow keys
|
||
- **Confirm/continue**: Enter
|
||
- **Cancel**: Ctrl+C
|
||
|
||
## Prompt types you’ll see
|
||
|
||
### Single select (choose one)
|
||
|
||
- **Move** with Up/Down, **Enter** to choose the highlighted option.
|
||
|
||
Typical places: choosing a web or native framework, picking a runtime or API.
|
||
|
||
### Multi-select (choose many)
|
||
|
||
- **Move** with Up/Down.
|
||
- **Space** toggles the highlighted option on/off.
|
||
- **Enter** confirms your selection(s).
|
||
- Some prompts allow selecting none (you can press Enter without toggling anything).
|
||
|
||
Typical places: selecting project types (web/native), choosing example apps.
|
||
|
||
### Grouped multi-select (addons)
|
||
|
||
- Options are organized under group headings.
|
||
- **Move** with Up/Down, **Space** to toggle an option, **Enter** to confirm.
|
||
- Group headings are informational; toggle the items within groups.
|
||
|
||
Used when selecting addons like Biome, PWA, Turborepo, etc.
|
||
|
||
### Confirm (yes/no)
|
||
|
||
- Use Left/Right or Up/Down to highlight Yes/No, then **Enter**.
|
||
|
||
Typical places: installing dependencies, initializing Git.
|
||
|
||
### Text input
|
||
|
||
- Type your answer and press **Enter**.
|
||
- If validation fails, a short message will explain what to fix; edit and press **Enter** again.
|
||
|
||
Typical places: project name/path, database URLs, provider-specific inputs.
|
||
|
||
## Tips
|
||
|
||
- You can skip all prompts with `--yes` if you want the defaults. See the [Options](/docs/cli/options#yes--y) page.
|
||
- If you accidentally start the wrong flow, press **Ctrl+C** to cancel safely.
