Usage notes¶

The snow app setup command bootstraps a new Snowflake Apps Deploy project by generating a snowflake.yml file containing a snowflake-app entity. Edit snowflake.yml after the command completes, then run snow app deploy to ship your changes.

Starting with Snowflake CLI version 3.17.0, snow app commands support both Snowflake Native Apps (application and application package entities) and Snowflake Apps Deploy (snowflake-app entities). Shared subcommands such as bundle, deploy, validate, open, events, and teardown select the correct flow automatically based on the entity type in snowflake.yml.

Examples¶

Initialize snowflake.yml for a Snowflake Apps Deploy project in the current directory:
```
snow app setup
```
After running the command, edit snowflake.yml to configure your app, then deploy it:
```
snow app deploy
```
Show the resolved configuration without writing snowflake.yml:
```
snow app setup --dry-run
```
