```

## Commands
### Creating a New Project
- Use `wasp new` to start the interactive mode for setting up a new Wasp project.
This will prompt you to input the project name and to select a template. The chosen template will then be used to generate the project directory with the specified name.
```
$ wasp new
Enter the project name (e.g. my-project) ▸ MyFirstProject
Choose a starter template
[1] basic (default)
[2] saas
[3] todo-ts
▸ 1
🐝 --- Creating your project from the basic template... ---------------------------
Created new Wasp app in ./MyFirstProject directory!
To run it, do:
cd MyFirstProject
wasp start
```
- To skip the interactive mode and create a new Wasp project with the default template, use `wasp new <project-name>`.
```
$ wasp new MyFirstProject
🐝 --- Creating your project from the basic template... ---------------------------
Created new Wasp app in ./MyFirstProject directory!
To run it, do:
cd MyFirstProject
wasp start
```
### Project Commands
- `wasp start` launches the Wasp app in development mode. It automatically opens a browser tab with your application running and watches for any changes to .wasp or files in `src/` to automatically reflect in the browser. It also shows messages from the web app, the server and the database on stdout/stderr.
- `wasp start db` starts the database for you. This can be very handy since you don't need to spin up your own database or provide its connection URL to the Wasp app.
- `wasp clean` removes all generated code and other cached artifacts. If using SQlite, it also deletes the SQlite database. Think of this as the Wasp version of the classic "turn it off and on again" solution.
```
$ wasp clean
Deleting .wasp/ directory...
Deleted .wasp/ directory.
```
- `wasp build` generates the complete web app code, which is ready for [deployment](/docs/advanced/deployment/overview). Use this command when you're deploying or ejecting. The generated code is stored in the `.wasp/build` folder.
- `wasp deploy` makes it easy to get your app hosted on the web.
Currently, Wasp offers support for [Fly.io](https://fly.io). If you prefer a different hosting provider, feel free to let us know on Discord or submit a PR by updating [this TypeScript app](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/tree/main/waspc/packages/deploy).
Read more about automatic deployment [here](/docs/advanced/deployment/cli).
- `wasp telemetry` displays the status of [telemetry](https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/telemetry).
```
$ wasp telemetry
Telemetry is currently: ENABLED
Telemetry cache directory: /home/user/.cache/wasp/telemetry/
Last time telemetry data was sent for this project: 2021-05-27 09:21:16.79537226 UTC
Our telemetry is anonymized and very limited in its scope: check https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/telemetry for more details.
```
- `wasp deps` lists the dependencies that Wasp uses in your project.
- `wasp info` provides basic details about the current Wasp project.
### Database Commands
Wasp provides a suite of commands for managing the database. These commands all begin with `db` and primarily execute Prisma commands behind the scenes.
- `wasp db migrate-dev` synchronizes the development database with the current state of the schema (entities). If there are any changes in the schema, it generates a new migration and applies any pending migrations to the database.
- The `--name foo` option allows you to specify a name for the migration, while the `--create-only` option lets you create an empty migration without applying it.
- `wasp db studio` opens the GUI for inspecting your database.
### Bash Completion
To set up Bash completion, run the `wasp completion` command and follow the instructions.
### Miscellaneous Commands
- `wasp version` displays the current version of the CLI.
```
$ wasp version
0.11.1
```
- `wasp uninstall` removes Wasp from your system.
```
$ wasp uninstall
