Interactive

Use the --interactive flag to get a guided, step-by-step setup. All options are prompted, even if you provide arguments:

npm create thulite@latest my-doks-site -- --template doks --interactive

Great for exploring options and customizing your project.

Non-interactive

Skip all prompts with --no-interactive. The CLI uses your arguments or sensible defaults:

npm create thulite@latest my-doks-site -- --template doks --no-interactive

Perfect for automation, CI/CD, or scripting.

Immediate

Use --immediate to install dependencies and start the dev server right after scaffolding:

npm create thulite@latest my-doks-site -- --template doks --immediate

No further prompts—just instant setup and launch.

Acknowledgements

This CLI is based on create-vite.
