ct init

ct init [flags]

Flags

Flag	Short	Type	Default	Description
--dir	-d	string	"."	Project directory

Output structure

myproject/
  main.ct         # manifest definitions (TypeScript syntax)
  values.json     # configurable values

main.ct is the entrypoint for your Kubernetes manifests, written in TypeScript-like syntax executed by the CT runtime.

values.json holds configurable values that can be overridden per environment via ct template --values or ct apply --set.

Examples

Initialize in the current directory:

ct init

Initialize in a specific directory:

ct init --dir ./my-app

What’s next

After initializing, you typically:

1. Edit main.ct to define your Kubernetes resources.
2. Adjust values.json for your environment.
3. Render manifests with ct template.
4. Generate IDE types with ct types.
