Creating a Snowflake Native App project¶

You can use the snow init command to bootstrap a Snowflake Native App project, and get the project up and running quickly.

To create a Snowflake Native App project from a Snowflake provided Snowflake Native App template:

Enter a snow init command, similar to the following:
```
snow init --template app_basic my_app
```
Copy
When successful, the command returns a confirmation message similar to the following:
```
Initialized the new project in my_app
```

Caution

Files inside a project directory are processed by Snowflake CLI and could be uploaded to Snowflake when executing other snow app commands. You should use caution when putting any sensitive information inside files in a project directory.

For more information about creating a Snowflake Native App project, see the snow init command as well as the Snowflake CLI templates repository.
